Getting started - Error message

[Philip Rhoades]

People,

I used this info to get started on Fedora 14 x86_64:

http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/introducing-linux-virtual-containers-with-lxc/1289

and everything seems happy when doing the setup stuff but when I try to run:

/usr/bin/lxc-execute -n test -f /etc/lxc/lxc-test.conf /bin/bash

I get:

lxc-execute: network is not created for 'lxc.network.link' = 'br0 
lxc.network.hwaddr = 4a:49:43:49:79:bd' option

lxc-execute: failed to process 'lxc.network.link = br0 
lxc.network.hwaddr = 4a:49:43:49:79:bd
'
lxc-execute: failed to read configuration file

but the conf file is readable:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 215 Mar  4 05:29 /etc/lxc/lxc-test.conf

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Phil.

The blog shows something like that:

"lxc.utsname = test lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.flags = up 
lxc.network.link = br0 lxc.network.hwaddr = 4a:49:43:49:79:bd 
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.250.150 lxc.network.ipv6 = 
2003:db8:1:0:214:1234:fe0b:3596"

The configuration file should be in this format:

lxc.utsname = test
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = br0
lxc.network.hwaddr = 4a:49:43:49:79:bd
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.250.150
lxc.network.ipv6 = 2003:db8:1:0:214:1234:fe0b:3596

Thanks

I should have seen that! (I did notice the same problem in one of the 
commands.  I changed the IP addresses appropriately for my setup but the 
comment:  "The next commands then reset the IP address of eth0 to 
0.0.0.0, but since it is bound to the bridge interface, it will respond 
to the previous IP address anyways." does not seem to be true for me and 
my normal networking was messed up.  Anyway, is it possible to set up 
the container without messing with the existing eth0 setup?

Thanks,

Phil.
