Hi Tim, the missing comma after the bridge specification in the vif declaration of the domU cfg's seemed to have caused the problems I encountered.
Now I'm using the xen network-dummy script and have succesfully in dom0 put up 3 bridges belonging to different VLAN's and can assign these bridges to some domU's so that their eth0 belongs to that specific VLAN. So I reached the goal I wanted. Thanks again! But I wonder if there is a way to enhance it. Now dom0 uses xenbr94 directly as it's standard interface to the world. The default xen network-bridge magic does it somehow different: it renames eth0 to peth0 and creates a new eth0 which is then added to the xenbr0 - which is then used by dom0 for communication instead of using a xenbr directly. I could not figure out yet how to create such a new interface (using somehow the netloop driver?) and have the dom0 use that instead. Googling for netloop etc brought no enlightment.. Do you know how to do that / by what commands? How is xen creating the similar vifX.Y interfaces ? Perhaps you can help me with that.. BTW: I'm also using the ocfs2 filesystem with two nodes and playing around with live migration. Is there a way to speed up to make the cisco switches in our network learn faster that a domU IP is now reachable on another node's mac ? Either via configuration on the switches or in the nodes bridge configuration?
