One more quirk I can create a domain using the lx commands and a slightly modified .conf file. "virsh start kvmtest" returns a failure. I tracked the information passed to vif-openvswitch and it is being called with type_if=tap and it needs to be type_if=vif.

Any help would be greatly appreciated once again.

name = "kvmtest" uuid = "1883fa66-d052-4bb2-b57a-8571f77ae69e" maxmem = 4096 memory = 4096 vcpus = 3 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "nc" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 hap = 0 viridian = 0 rtc_timeoffset = 0 localtime = 0 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" usb = 1 usbdevice = "tablet" sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 1 keymap = "en-us" disk = [ "phy:/dev/xen_images/kvmtest,hda,w" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:3f:31:36,bridge=br0,script=vif-bridge,model=e1000" ]

parallel = "none" serial = "pty"

I hand fixed it and ran my tests but then foolishly reran domxml-to-native overwriting my fixes. I gave various nic configurations a try and e1000 was just the last one before moving to looking for the problem in other places. I will likely use the PV nic for any real systems but now I am just trying to get the kinks out. > > Regards, > Jim > >> parallel = "none" >> serial = "pty" -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
