Missing bridges in KVM Create view

[drrighteous]

Total newbie to PVE, however I'm pretty experienced with KVM/virtualized environments. So lets hope this isn't a purposeful bug I found.

In PVE 1.4 I've added several new bridged interfaces (mostly by creating them against vlan tagged eth0, e.g. eth0.5). However, when I choose to Create a new KVM machine, it only lists vmbr0 as an option.

However the other vmbr's are listed and selectable if I choose to post creation add an additional ethernet or if creating a OpenVZ container.

I figure it to be a minor PHP bug, anyone?

this should work. how did you create the bridges? hopefully via web interface?

make sure you run the latest version (run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade).

BTW, we do not use PHP on Proxmox VE, we use Perl.

You rebooted to activate the changes? Please an you post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces

 

[drrighteous]

Oh yes most definitely I added the interfaces via the web interface, and yes, also rebooted. Remember also that I stated my ability to add said bridges from the OpenVZ create and the "add ethernet" screens, just not the KVM create one. Thus it is working, completely from the web interface, I just had to go through the additional steps of deleting the initial ethernet and adding a new one to the VM.

Anyhow, here is a copy of my interfaces file:

# network interface settings
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 10.100.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.100.1.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr210
iface vmbr210 inet manual
bridge_ports eth0.210
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr42
iface vmbr42 inet manual
bridge_ports eth0.42
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

And all bridges are listed as 'active' under Configuration/System/Network?

maybe a browser cache issue? just eliminate this by accessing the interface via another browser.

 

[drrighteous]

Yes they are active, and no not a caching issue as I do in fact access the interface from multiple browers. Also I am running the latest apt-get upgraded versions.

 

[dietmar]

That is really strange - it works for many people. Please can you post a screenshot of your Configuration/System/Network view?

we cannot reproduce the issue here (we also used your interfaces file).
what the output of:

pveversion -v

ok, finally we found the issue. its already fixed and the update will be available soon in the repository. if you can´t wait, you can move to the pvetest repository (instead of pve) and run apt-get update/dist-upgrade.
