Re: [libvirt-users] ifname in openvz container

Hi! Is there any way to specify ethernet device name to be created inside the openvz container? I could find such info at http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICS. If I do as below I get br0 as ethernet device inside VM whereas I'd like it to be eth0. $ cat ovz.xml <domain type='openvz' id='144'> <name>144</name> <uuid>0071c128-58b4-4688-be17-1e062a22b36c</uuid> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <memory>524288</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/sbin/init</init> </os> <devices> <filesystem type='template'> <source name='centos-5-x86'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='br0'/> </interface> </devices> </domain> $ virsh create ovz.xml Domain 144 created from ovz.xml $ grep -i netif /etc/vz/conf/144.conf NETIF="ifname=br0,bridge=br0,mac=52:54:00:74:DD:F3,host_ifname=veth144.0,host_mac=52:54:00:06:78:76" br0 is a bridge on the server (CT0). But I would like to assign ethernet device inside VM as eth0 i.e. ifname in VM config has to be eth0. ovzkernel release is 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028stab081.1 OS is CentOS 5.5, libvirt/virsh version is 0.8.8. Best regards, Nikolay.
