Re: [Xen-users] XCP 1.1 Management VLAN



No, sorry. You can try to hack the xcp/xapi underlying configuration, but this require significant understanding of xapi internals (and, of cause, every your change will be your own problem without community support).

But outside this you can not use tagged vlans for management interface of xapi.

My servers have 2 NICs each. My plan is to connect one NIC each to
the LAN and one NIC each to a dedicated SAN.

My LAN is segmented into VLANs, so I would hook each LAN NIC into
a port tagged for each VLAN I want the guests to be able to access.

Then the Management interface would need to be on one of those VLANs
but so far as I can tell it doesn't support that natively.

I plan to host VMs that will participate in the same VLAN as the
management interface of XCP.

I was able to create a vlan network like this:
# xe network-create name-label=MGT name-description=Management VLAN

then a VLAN interface with this command:
# xe vlan-create vlan=100 pif-uuid=<uuid of the physical nic>  network-
uuid=<uuid of MGT network>

Then I used 'xsconsole' to change the management interface to this
new network.

It works up to a point. I can manage the host on VLAN 100, and I can
spin up a VM and attach it to that same VLAN. Everybody can talk to
each other.

The problem is when I try to join the servers together in a pool. I
get an error stating that the management interface cannot be on a VLAN.

Is there a good reason for that restriction? What are my alternatives?
