Re: [Xen-users] Opensolaris domU unable to get dhcp lease 
| | Load OSOL patching kernel via kmdb ( previous post) to disable checksum offloading and succeed with dhcp lease for sure  at initial ( installation ) bootup. Then go trough normal install.
 In case OSOL 2009.06 ZFS boot environment doesn't get dismounted as
 in OSOL 2008.11. So, just drop to shell and edit /etc/sytem before reboot.

 | It's well known bug - failure checksum offloading at xnf0. Run tcpdump at any host on the LAN. Due to DHCPDISCOVER is a
 broadcast request you'll capture wrong udp packages.
 
 Way to fix :-

 Use the same commands with the installed system.
 
 To make the settings permanent you also need:
 
 echo 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492 > /etc/hostname.xnf0
 rm /etc/dhcp.xnf0
 
 echo  192.168.1.102 > /etc/defaultrouter
 
 Qoute ends
 
 You also still have to disable checksum offloading at OSOL DomU :-
 
 Add to /etc/system
 
 set xnf:xnf_cksum_offload = 0
 
and reboot .

 P.S. Personally, i was able to path throw initial install and just :-
 
 Add to /etc/system
 
 set xnf:xnf_cksum_offload = 0

 I'm running a ubuntu 9.04 64 bit dom0 with kernel 2.6.29.6 and xen 3.4.0. My eth0 is bridged to br0 and to my guest VMs. The dom0 is running a dhcp server on br0 which is able to provide leases to physical machines on eth0, and also to a windows xp domU which is bridged to br0. However my open solaris 2009.6 domU is unable to obtain a dhcp
 lease. On the opensolaris side I can see this: michael@opensolaris:~$ pfexec ifconfig xnf0 dhcp start ifconfig: xnf0: wait timed out, operation still pending... With tcpdump I can see the dhcp request coming in br0, but no dhcp offer going back out. In the syslog of my dom0 I can see this when the opensolaris domU requests a lease: ==> syslog <== Jul 19 15:20:03 allendale dhcpd: 19 bad udp checksums in 37 packets This also occurs with xen 3.3.0 Anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas what could be causing this? -- Michael _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing listXen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxhttp://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
