Re: [Xen-users] HVM Network Interfaces
It seems to be the correct one, looks quite similar to the script in
XEN 4.0 (and it is called qemu-ifup, which it also is in KVM or
plain QEMU).
Seems that it has been moved in XEN 4.0, but it should work the same
way.

if [ ! -e "/sys/class/net/$bridge" ] && [ -z
"${bridge##xenbr*}" ]
then
if [ -e "/sys/class/net/eth${bridge#xenbr}/bridge" ]
then
bridge="eth${bridge#xenbr}"

ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 up
brctl addif $bridge $1 || true
Not sure what to do with it though. Is this the correct script?
Thanks

Hi Felix,
Good to hear from you
I'm using Xen 3.4.2, and I don't seem to have the qemu-ifup
script. Is
there another script that is used? The tap device must be
getting set
up from somewhere...
Many Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
You can correct that with the qemu vif script. It is located
in
/etc/xen/scripts/qemu-ifup for newer XEN version (don't know
about
older ones, but it should exist there, too) and controls the
setup of
the tapX.X device. You can put your network setup code in that
script,
too, and both interfaces will be set up with your bridge /
routing /
whatever scenario. Note that I did not find a way to change
the
qemu-ifdown script, but you could add code to the xen vif
script, that
also brings down the tap device (if necessary).
It is possible to rename the tap device to the vif's name
after
renaming the vif to something else, but there are only rare
cases where
this is necessary.
In server environments or for Windows Server domUs, I would
also
recommend the pv_ops drivers, because they are really faster
than
emulated network devices (same for disks, btw).
Regards,
Felix

Because that's the interface that will be used if
your HVM domU has PV
drivers

Not that I know of.

You might be able convert it to PV guest. From
Google:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10268
http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen
Is there any way to create iptables rule upon HVM boot then
(With rules
matching by tap interface)?
