KVM issues

[frantek]

Hi,

I use Proxmox 1.2 on a OVH system (yes, I know that I've to ask OVH, but I don't want to ask any thing ...). I just want to drop a note about two networking issues I've found and seen no where in the documentation:

#1 Proxyarp is not activated on vmbr0

I solved this by adding the line:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vmbr0/proxy_arp

to the fiel: /etc/pve/kvm-networking.sh

#2 /etc/pve/kvm_ips is not updateded by the webinterface

I had to find this my selfe and I had to add the IP's of the KVM VM's manually to this file to make networking work. IMHO the "New VM" dialog in the webinterfaces for KVM VM's lacks a entry field for the IP and the script then should add this IP to /etc/pve/kvm_ips

cheers

I've added a note about this to my wiki:

To day I've found an other bug related to this one. I've set up my first cluster node and found that /etc/pve/kvm_ips is NOT syncronized !
