[Xen-users] network-nat for hvm guests

[David Richardson <daverich04@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey everyone,
 
 Has anyone had any luck running an hvm guest using the NAT networking config scripts?  My setup is as follows:
 
 eth0 is attached to a physical network card.  I'd like to have my domU's on a private subnet, then NAT between the subnet and eth0 to allow domU's to talk to the WAN (ie, exactly what vmware does when you use their NAT setup).
 
 My /etc/xen/xend-config.spx enables the following 2 nat lines instead of the default bridging setup:
 (network-script network-nat)
 (vif-script 'vif-nat dhcp=yes')
 
 My domU guest's config file (for a Win XP guest) contains, among other config params:
 vif = [ 'type=ioemu' ]
 dhcp='dhcp'
 
 I've also installed dhcpd, and configured /etc/dhcpd.conf to:
 ddns-update-style interim;
 # Xen allocated addresses
 subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
 }
 
 When I create the domU guest, nothing seems to happen; the domU has no state under 'xm list'. 
 However, if I change the vif config line to vif=[''], the guest boots correctly, dhcpd runs and assigns an ip to vifX.Y, BUT the Windows guest has no network card.
 
 Any ideas how to fix this?  Does network-nat work for hvm guest??  Thanks!
 
 ~Dave
