Re: [libvirt-users] Howto set the option script=no for a tap device in the xml file
Hello again,
Digging into the source code with my colleague we found out that setting
<script path='no'/> does the trick. But to get this flag interpreted one
has to select the interface type "ethernet". Otherwise libvirt will
ignore the script element and try to add the tap device to the bridge by
itself.
Unfortunately libvirt does currently not support the downscript
parameter of qemu-kvm. But this only results in a error msg when
shutting down the vm. If I find some time the next days I will try to
produce a patch for this.
Regards,
Christian

Hello,
I am trying to run a virtual machine with qemu-kvm and libvirt as a
user. In order to start the virtual machine I setup a tap device
manually, add it to the bridge and activate it via ifconfig. But I
cannot tell libvirt to not try to add the definded tap device to the
bridge by itself. It always fails telling me it cannot add tap0 to br0.
Thats the xml snippet for defining the network:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='54:52:00:38:75:dd'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<target dev='tap0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
Here I would like do define "script=no" to get an output like: -net
tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=no when libvirt launches the vm.
Regards,
Christian
