Hi,

No guest can not  get ip.

When I do ifup eth0 it give error device not found.

Hostos=rhel 6.x86_64

Guest os= rhel 6.x86_64

Libvirt =0.8.7

Macvtap driver is loaded.

Qemu-kvm= 0.12.1.2

i think this error is creating problem

macvtap0:no ipv6 routers present

Hi

I am creating macvtap0 interface on my eth1 interface.

ip link show macvtap0

133: macvtap0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UNKNOWN qlen 500

    link/ether 3e:63:18:f3:49:63 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


Are you saying that you're manually creating a macvtap0 device outside of libvirt? Or are you just showing us the macvtap device that libvirt is creating?


guest interface file-

<interface type='direct'>

<mac address='3e:63:18:f3:49:63'/>

<source dev='eth0' mode='bridge'/>

<model type='virtio'/>

<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>

</interface>

Now when I do-

Virsh define guest works fine

But when I do virsh start guest

can guest gain ip?

Dmesg shows error



dmesg on the host, correct?


macvtap0:no ipv6 routers present

libvirtd[24907]: segfault at 0 ip 0000003e22280062 sp 00007fd3057f8cb8 error 4 in libc-2.12.so[3e22200000+187000]


Does this segfault happen every time? If you have a RHEL subscription, you should open a ticket with Red Hat support.

Have you rebooted the host since you first encountered this error - I have seen cases where old stale macvtap devices stuck around, preventing the creation of a new device with the same name.

If it's feasible to upgrade, you may want to do so - RHEL 6.2 (with libvirt-0.9.4) was released on Wednesday.

and even if guest starts its eth interface is not created

could you provide your host os, guest os, libvirt, qemu-kvm version?


Also useful for debugging - the last qemu command listed in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$guestname.log

Additionally, the output of "virsh dumpxml $guestname" (in particular the <interface> section) while the guest is running (this will be different from the "inactive" version you've provided above).

it is fine as i tried, no segment fault message and the guest can get ip.
