[rhn-satellite-beta-users] Howto setup network on host-system-for-virtual-systems ?

[DCLUX Sysadmin]

Hello,

I will explain all cycle of the bug :

* Fresh server without any OS on HardDisk.
* Create a Kickstart "host-system-for-virtual-systems" as described  
into your pdf document

The only difference with your documentation is that I configure this  
under into the Kickstart

Kickstart Network Connection -> Use static IP from interface -> eth0
Kickstart Details -> Advanced Options -> network -> --bootproto  
static --ip 192.168.1.155 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway  
192.168.1.1 --nameserver 192.168.1.11

I boot the system on the RHEL 5 beta Boot CD

Entrance on the Boot CD prompt :

linux ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://rhn5beta.dclux.loc/kickstart/ks/label/ 
host-system-for-virtual-systems ip=192.168.1.155 netmask=255.255.255.0
	gateway=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.11

The kickstart installation work fine, the server is registered into  
the RHN 5 Beta system page.

But if a try to connect with ssh on the "host-system-for-virtual- 
systems", no response. If I try to ping the "host-system-for-virtual- 
systems" no response.
I log me into the "host-system-for-virtual-systems" with a console as  
root.

Verify my ifconfig configuration. I see my ip, netmask and broadcast  
on eth0
I have lo (127.0.0.1), but also 3 other xen interfaces without IP  
configured on them.

I verify my route, my route is fine 192.168.1.1

I ping www.yahoo.fr, www.redhat.com, or any other systems into my  
network or in internet, no responses at all.


I have then try to install a new fresh system with a kickstart  
"standard kickstart" with none virtualization,
with the same kickstart method. Every thing is working fine.

Will this help you ?

Regards.
