[Xen-users] Xen with NIC Bonding on Debian Etch ?
Hi guys,
I am trying to get bonding work on a debian etch system. I searched
already in the mailing list but unfortunately I couldnt find a proper
solution. This is what i did so far.
- Installed Debian Etch on my server
- Installed the following packages for using Xen from the Debian repository:
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae
linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686
linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686
xen-tools
libc6-xen
bridge-utils
- Setup bonding like this:
/etc/modprobe.d/arch/i386
=========================
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 mode=6 miimon=50
/etc/network/interfaces
=======================
auto eth0 eth1
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 10.3.4.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.3.4.0
broadcast 10.3.4.255
gateway 10.3.4.1
up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth0
down /sbin/ifenslave -d bond0 eth0
========================================
Everything is working fine so far. To get bonding (kind of) working with
xen I read the following howto:
http://vandelande.com/guides/howto%20setup%20XEN%20using%20network%20bonding%20on%20SLES10.html
I took the posted script and saved is as
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bonding-bridge
If I run the script the according devices are created.
So far so good.
The next I created a domU. My setup is quit simple:
==============================================
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-xen-686'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-5-xen-686'
memory = '256'
root = '/dev/sda1 ro'
disk =
['phy:/dev/sda8,sda1,w','phy:/dev/sda9,sda2,w','phy:/dev/sda10,sda3,w' ]
name = 'vm_mydomU'
vif=[ 'ip=10.3.4.3' ]
dhcp="off"
netmask='255.255.255.000'
gateway='10.3.4.1'
==============================================
If I start the domU there are no error-messages at all. The connection
works for a (very) short while. For example if I send a ping to a random
host (internal or external), the connection works for around 5 or 6
ICMP-message-replies. Then the connection brakes down. Kind of the same
problem was already described on the list in the following post:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-04/msg00236.html
Unfortunately nobody answered. :-/
I hope someone got bonding to work with xen and could describe me what I
am doing wrong.
Would be glad to get some help.
Cheers,
Artur
