RHEL6 KVM Host / guest network doesn't


Hi Guys,

Did a new install, but can't get Host to network to Guest or vice versa.
Console access to guest from host is fine.

host settings
Code:
 ifconfig

Guest route table empty

Also on guest
Code:
ifup eth0

Determining IP information for eth0... failed.
Relevant section of guest's xml file
Code:
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:35:73:c3'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
Anyone tell me how to fix it?
Normally it should grab an address in the 192.168.122.0 network.

NB: host has static IP: it's a server.

Sneaky question. Do you have DHCP server running anywhere in the network reachable by the host and thus by the guest?

For debugging, have you tried a static ip on the guest and it connects to the rest of the network?

Cheers

OK; finally(!) found out how to do a cmd line only(!) install that creates a guest with the virsh console available and the default network ready
Code:
virt-install \
--network=network:default \
--name vm1 \
--ram=2048 \
--vcpus=2 \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm1.img,size=12 \
--graphics none \
-l /mnt/isos/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso \
 -x "console=ttyS0"


Still have to go into the guest via console and edit ifcfg-eth0 to set 'ONBOOT=yes' and then 'service network restart'.
Its now ssh-able from the host.
