[libvirt] Interface type 'direct' - giving error.
Hi Daniel,
I am trying to create an interface with the type 'direct' with 'vepa'
mode.
I assigned an ip '10.0.0.1' to the eth2 interface of the host machine.
My domain XML format is shown below.
<domain type='lxc' id='1'>
<name>vm1_fedora</name>
<memory>500000</memory>
<os>
<type>exe</type>
<init>/bin/bash</init>
</os>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<clock offset='utc'/>
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
<on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator>
<filesystem type='mount'>
<source dir='/root/lxc/fedora_fresh'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='eth2' mode='vepa'/>
</interface>
<console type='pty' />
</devices>
</domain>
When I am trying to define the domain, I am getting the following error:
virsh # define /root/lxc_devel/fedora.xml
error: Failed to define domain from /root/lxc_devel/fedora.xml
error: internal error unknown interface type 'direct'
Can you please let me know the problem here.
Regards,
Srikanth.
