Hi Half_life,
You need Zentyal to handle (as advertised) all vm management. If that is what you are after, yes I did understand you the first time.
yes, you understood me correct the first time - so it was my error. No need for you to apologize - its up to me
.
... you would like to use bridge mode to your physical ethernet cards.
correct - I would need to contact my VM servers as equivalent to the physical machines running. I do like to use my I-Phone to switch on / of the kitchen lights
You need Zentyal to handle (as advertised) all vm management.
Yes and no: Zentyal would be perfect for switching on / off the maschines, but Virt-Manager ist more comprehensive to create machines because I do need USB pass throught and VNC connections from remote computer. Both is not enabled when VM are created from within Zentyal.
Additonally, I am not sure, but I think that Zentyal just manages the usermode VMs - I do just see the maschines I created within the Virt-Manager Usermode within Zentyal (sometimes!). I
do not see the maschines I created within Virt-Manager using a direct connection. After the third installation of Zentyal, I did not install the Zentyal VM Management tool at all. I am just running Virt Manager / libvirt directly on the servers console and via SSH login from remote.
My status at the moment:
- I set the hosts eth1 to bridged mode and created a bridge br1
- I set br1 to DHCP on the host (Zentyal network interface)
- I can create an ethernet adapter bridged to br1 during VM setup from Virt-manager
- on firing up the VM, the host br1 adapter gets an IP from DHCP (I tried my routes DHCP server as well as the Zentyal internal DHCP). The IP is e.g.192.168.0.100
- on firing up the VM guest, its adapter (e.g. Realtec, in the meantime its name is eth9 from several trials) gets an IP from DHCP. The IP is e.g. 192.168.0.105
- at least when I use Zentyal DHCP, I can see both assignments on the Zentyal host dashboard.
- on firing up a virtual machine, another interface is visible @network -> intervaces: vnet1 (mybe the default KVM net)
I can not connect to the internet from the guest (a Zentryal Server, too) and I can not connect the VM guests Zentyal Interface. I fear that the IPs are blocking each other... Or there are some firewall rules I do not understand. Also I do not understand the vnet1
Is is the IP assignment as stated above correct?
THX
