[Xen-users] Help needed for configuring DHCP3 server on XEN

[Michele Mazzucco <michelemazzucco@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

I have just installed the XEN kernel on a Linux box (Ubuntu 9.04, 32
bit). I want to setup a DHCP server in order to run some tests with
Rubis VA http://forge.ow2.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1453. I have
followed the step-by-step instructions reported on the Rubis VA
installation how-to, but I had no luck in setting up the DHCP server.
The host machine uses a static IP address, so I have created a virtual
interface (eth0:1) in order not to interfere with the network
interface and cause any problems in the cluster (the server is hosted
on a server farm).
Please find below the dhcpd.conf, dhcp3-server as well as the syslog.

#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
#   see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
#

# Required for dhcp 3.0+ / Red Hat 8.0+
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

default-lease-time 259200;
max-lease-time 518400;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
        option routers  192.168.1.1;
        option domain-name "rubisva.cy";
        range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.100;
        option domain-name-servers 194.42.16.11;
        #option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
}

        #option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
}


----------------------------------------------------------

syslog:
Oct 16 16:50:56 vm101 dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth0:1 (0.0.0.0).
Oct 16 16:50:56 vm101 dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth0:1.  If this
is not what
Oct 16 16:50:56 vm101 dhcpd:    you want, please write a subnet declaration
Oct 16 16:50:56 vm101 dhcpd:    in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
Oct 16 16:50:56 vm101 dhcpd:    to which interface eth0:1 is attached. **


Any idea about what is wrong?

Thanks,
Michele


p.s. I have posted the same question on the Ubuntu forum
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8127606&posted=1#post8127606),
but nobody has been able to answer so far.
