Re: [opensuse-virtual] Re: Static IP and internet access in a VM

If you're using libvirt, I don't see whether you're trying to manage using CLI or a GUI. If you are able to use a GUI, then it's pretty easy to manage your virtual networks including creating and configuring any virtual network of your choosing. If I were to guess, your error is because you're trying to ;modify an existing virtual network or similar. Instead, just create a new connection with a different name. Of course, you'll need to know beforehand any existing networks so you don't have a conflict. Tony On Sun, Jan 12, 2014 at 8:18 PM, Sankar P wrote:

Hi Bruno,

Sorry for the late reply as I did not get your mail as I was not subscribed to the list and I forgot to add my email address explicitly in the CC.

The qmenu xml definition in a host will look like

Also, sorry to say that I was not able to understand what you meant by qmenu xml definition. I am a total newbie when it comes to setting up VMs and have used jsut virtualbox with its helpful gui so far. If it is not too much of an effort, can you explain the steps for using/generating this XML or point me to relevant documentation where I can get static IP for my VM but with internet access ? I searched around but could not find anything newbie friendly.

Thanks.

Sorry if it was not clear, first I would recommend this bible :-) http://activedoc.opensuse.org/book/opensuse-virtualization-with-kvm

You will then learn how to edit manually, or with virsh or virt-manager gui the definition of your vm.

Hope this help you, otherwise, just ping back.

ah, there seem to be a problem. The doc recommends me to create a new bridged network card (section 4.1.1.5) . Also my VM currently says: libvirt connection does not support interface management. However, since I am using network-manager I cannot use YaST to create a new bridged network card. I want to continue using network manager, as I want to access my wireless at home etc.

So what will be the way forward ? To be honest, it feels like such a basic workflow requirement to require a static IP for a VM, that I am surprised that it is not straightforward. Any other help or pointers ?

Thanks.

Sankar
