[Xen-users] XCP 1.1 Management VLAN

["Brett Westover" <bwestover@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My servers have 2 NICs each. My plan is to connect one NIC each to 
the LAN and one NIC each to a dedicated SAN.

My LAN is segmented into VLANs, so I would hook each LAN NIC into 
a port tagged for each VLAN I want the guests to be able to access.

Then the Management interface would need to be on one of those VLANs 
but so far as I can tell it doesn't support that natively.

I plan to host VMs that will participate in the same VLAN as the 
management interface of XCP. 

I was able to create a vlan network like this:
# xe network-create name-label=MGT name-description=Management VLAN

then a VLAN interface with this command:
# xe vlan-create vlan=100 pif-uuid=<uuid of the physical nic> network-
uuid=<uuid of MGT network>

Then I used 'xsconsole' to change the management interface to this 
new network. 

It works up to a point. I can manage the host on VLAN 100, and I can 
spin up a VM and attach it to that same VLAN. Everybody can talk to 
each other.

The problem is when I try to join the servers together in a pool. I 
get an error stating that the management interface cannot be on a VLAN.

Is there a good reason for that restriction? What are my alternatives?
