[libvirt] converting gatewaydev= from domU.cfg to libvirt.xml fails
How should this be converted? /etc/init.d/boot.local tap=xentap tunctl -pt ${tap} ip addr add 1.1.1.1/29 dev ${tap} ip link set up dev ${tap} domU.cfg vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:13:01:00,ip=1.1.1.2,type=vif,gatewaydev=xentap,script=vif-route' ] The result from "convert-xml xen-xl domU,cfg" is: <interface type='ethernet'> <mac address='00:16:3e:13:01:00'/> <ip address='1.1.1.2' family='ipv4'/> <script path='vif-route'/> </interface> gatewaydev= is missing, the guest will not start.

libvirt doesn't support 'gatewaydev'. I'm certainly no expert in this area, but is it possible to convert your host config in boot.local to a libvirt routed network [1] and then have the guest use it with something like <interface type='network'> <source network='boot.local.equiv'/> ... </interface> Regards, Jim [1] http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesRoute

I will have to check how this is supposed to work, but it seems the xen-xl to xml converter should recognize this variant. Olaf
