Thanks Cole.

I need to use network type="ethernet" with LXC instead of Qemu. I have reopened my bug.

Hi Team

I'm trying to launch LXC VM with libvirt 1.2.12 having commit *22cff52a2b8e06c913b1f97767e5d3**90fb17fc3b *with below XML configuration..

<domain type="lxc"> <uuid>64c48da2-e318-4085-8b88-c980aab4de34</uuid> <name>test</name> <memory>524288</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type machine="virt">exe</type> <cmdline>root=/dev/ram0 rw console=ttyAMA0 rootwait earlyprintk</cmdline> <init>/bin/sh</init> </os> <clock offset="utc"/> <devices> <file/> <interface type='ethernet'> <mac address='02:74:ff:9d:52:f5'/> <script path=''/> <target dev='tap74f2-f5'/> </interface> <console type="pty"/> </devices> </domain>

I'm getting following errors while launching LXC VM using above XML file..

virsh -c lxc: define lxc.xml virsh -c lxc: start test

error: Failed to start domain test error: internal error: guest failed to start: /usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_lxc: option '--veth' requires an argument syntax: /usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_lxc [OPTIONS] Options -b, --background -n NAME, --name NAME -c FD, --console FD -v VETH, --veth VETH -s FD, --handshakefd FD -S NAME, --security NAME -h, --help Unknown failure in libvirt_lxc startup

Please help me regarding this.

Hmm indeed, it seems like that commit inadvertently dropped the error condition for type=ethernet... from reading the original thread, I think the reporter was only testing with qemu.

It's probably not much work to wire up type=ethernet for LXC, but someone else will need to do it. I'll send a patch to make the error explicit again. Please reopen your RFC bug

Thanks, Cole

--- Comment #1 from Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com <mailto:crobinso@redhat.com>> --- ethernet support was actually enabled for lxc via this commit:

commit 22cff52a2b8e06c913b1f97767e5d390fb17fc3b Author: Anirban Chakraborty <abchak@juniper.net <mailto:

network: Add network bandwidth support to ethernet interfaces

Which looks like libvirt v1.2.10 or v1.2.11

Hi Cole Thanks. Please let us know when the support for network-type="ethernet" is enabled in libvirt.
