My problem is: 1.) VM1 running on host A must have network access to VM3 when VM3 is running on host B by default _and_ 2.) when VM3 is running on host A because host B failed. In some of my configurations 1.) worked but 2.) not, in some other configurations 2.) worked but 1.) not. I must have missed some detail ...
I do not see the problem. With the bridged scenario every VM has direct access to the physical network and it is not important on which host it runs. If the VMs are running on the same host, their ethernet frames will just "turn around" in the bridge interface and if they are running on different hosts they will go thru the real ethernet.
State 1) A: VM1 B: VM3
Eth. frames will go like this: VM1->BrA->PhysCardA->Ethernet-
PhysCardB->BrB->VM3 State 2)
A: VM1+VM3 B: x
Eth. frames will go like this: VM1->BrA->VM3
NOW I've got it! The errors in my configuration were two different network configurations on host A and on host B - I always thought that the network on host A and the network on host B must have different IP addresses. Now there is only on network configuration for host A _and_ host B and everything is fine! Thank you very much for your help! mfg ar -- Hier könnte keine Signatur stehen.
