I have been trying to get virtualization clients to see the host’s enternet devices. I tried following SEL and IBM documentation, but neither one resulted in any success.
I have a wireless ethernet controller and a copper ethernet controller. I read that virtual servers don’t like wireless controllers, so I’ve been trying to get my copper controller to work.
Can someone tell me what I should see from /sbin/ifconfig -a' and
/sbin/brctl show’? I want to know what I should see on both the client hand the host. I have been using both Xen and KVM without success.
I can’t figure out a way to copy from the client window, but it only shows the lo and eth0 interfaces, and the eth0 has no IP configuration and it’s module is viertio_net. Here’s what I see on my physical host:
vmhost:/etc # brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.e840f25fafc7 no enp4s0
vmhost:/etc # ifconfig -a
