XOA Can't register, network issue
-
I installed XOA from the command line, and set up a static ip. VM is running and I can get to the console from XO lite. When I run xoa check I get an error that xen-orchestra.net is unreachable. I can ping any address inside my lan up to and including the gateway. But pings outside the local network all fail (I tried a few like 8.8.8.8). The network is operating in bridge mode, and on dom0 I can ping everything so the physical network is working. Is there some way to verify that the bridge is set up correctly? Running ifconfig on dom0 shows that eth0 is up, and shows xenbr0 with the static IP I set for dom0. Do I need to set up new bridges for each vm? I'm not sure where to start on this, and would like to be able to register xoa and start spinning up the VMs I need running.

Hi @PGibson,
FWIW, I believe it is trying to reach xen-orchestra.com, not .net. Did you configure a DNS server when you setup the static IP? Post the output of
cat /etc/resolv.conf
on the XOA VM.Regards, Dan

@Danp it turns out I had a typo that took me forever to find . . . 102 vs 192 in the gateway ip. The strange thing to me was that the internal networking was working (pings, connections, etc). But there's something in the xoa web site that could not make the connection to the server it was running on, which makes me think there is some kind of external communication going on for server connections. If xoa can ping the dom0 then why would it need the gateway to connect to it for the web interface?
Anyway I fixed the typo after finding the error running
ip monitor
, and then everything works great. This was the 3rd or 4th install of xoa so I was getting a bit hurried . . . next morning it took 2 minutes to find the error. Now its registered and working. -
