[libvirt] hooking a physical nic to a bridge with net-create

[Shahar Klein]

I tried the virInterface that is already in 0.6.4
but got this:
libvir: error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virInterfaceDefineXML
ERROR virInterfaceDefineXML

Can I use netcf just to get the feeling of it?

I mean use netcf as an admin user
i.e. define an XML that for example say somthing like that:
"define tap device tap8 and vlan 3888 over bond1 and add these two to bridge br12"
can I do that with netcf?

thanks again

shahar

Some parts of the code are committed to CVS, some parts have been submitted to the list and ACKed, but not committed yet, still other bits have been submitted for comments, but aren't yet ready to be committed. So I guess the answer is "no" for now, but "yes" *very* soon ;-).

If you want to look at the patches yourself, search for "virInterface" in the list archives.

The XML is also not yet stable (there's been a lot of discussion about that during the last week). Currently, the XML for libvirt virInterface* is identical to the XML used by libnetcf:

libvirt will be using netcf as the backend to implement all the virInterface functions.
