OmniOS / Illumos / Solaris as a guest - not working
-
@Andrew Thanks for confirming, it seems to be working fine so at least I can progress.
Can I ask what vm guest tools you are running? I dont see Solaris/Illumos/OmniOS listed in the wiki so not sure how to proceed. -
@Buckle8711 No guest tools.... OpenSolaris does include Xen drivers but I don't know if they have been updated. I don't seem them loading.
-
I've hit a blocker in my migration to xcp-ng. I'm using OmniOS as a lightweight file server with Napp-it management interface.
I reached a point where I needed to add two additional VIF's to support some additional VLANs bring the OmniOS VM total to four. Unfortunately only the first two are mapped to devices in OmniOS. Open to any ideas here.
-
@Buckle8711 I see that too. QEMU is only started with two interfaces passed to the guest. I don't know if that's because of the lack of tools or native drivers or some other config issue.
@olivierlambert XCP/Xen/Qemu expert question: Why does qemu start with only two interfaces when more are configured in XO?
qemu-dm-7 -machine pc-i440fx-2.10,accel=xen ... -device e1000,netdev=tapnet1,mac=5a:7f:c3:ba:04:d6,addr=5,rombar=0 -netdev tap,id=tapnet1,fd=7 -device e1000,netdev=tapnet0,mac=8e:68:02:55:da:c7,addr=4,rombar=0 -netdev tap,id=tapnet0,fd=8 ...
Where's the third and fourth? I see other VMs with more. Is it a template or vm-param issue? -
Ping @Teddy-Astie if you know the best person internally to take a look at this

Where's the third and fourth? I see other VMs with more. Is it a template or vm-param issue?These are the same "interfaces" just plugged differently to the guest (e.g tapnet0 exposed as e1000 and "tap" and tapnet1 exposed as e1000 and "tap" too).You have 4 interfaces configured ?
-
@Teddy-Astie Yes...
-
@TeddyAstie thanks for looking into this. Do you have any updates here? Any workarounds or bug reports I can follow for updates?
-
@Buckle8711 Hello,
I took a look but unfortunately, I haven't found a workaround for this.
I suspect the Illumos/OmniOS Xen PV drivers to be too old to work in current Xen, but we currently don't have a way to prevent those drivers from loading (e.g HVM-only (non-PVHVM) domains). -
@TeddyAstie thank you for investigating.
