Hi there,
I have some vms in two different physical hosts, the hosts are
connected directly instead of a switcher, I'd like to make all these
vms connected. the condition right now is that vm network type is nat,
vm behind nat cannot get the new connection inbound, I suppose if I
can make the inbound connection acceptable or if there is any other
solution ? Thank you
Sure. Two possibilities:
1) create a libvirt network on each host that uses "<forward
mode='route'/>". The two networks should have different subnets. Then
add a route on host A that points to host B's external IP for the
hostB-subnet, and on host B that points to host A's external IP for the
hostA subnet. Finally, attach the guests' network interfaces to these
new networks.
2) setup a bridge device in both hosts' system network configuration
(outside of libvirt) that is attached to the hosts' ethernet cards, and
connect the guests on each host to that host's bridge rather than a
libvirt network. (if the ethernets of the two hosts are directly
connected to each other and nothing else, then you will either need to
configure the guest network interfaces with static IP addresses, or you
will need to run a dhcp server and DNS server (e.g. dnsmasq) on one of
the two hosts).
