Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Xen HVM Guest on Hetzner?

[webhostinggeek]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased one Hetzner node. I had setup a few Xen PV VPS on it by reading a few articles of routed network setup of Hetzner. They were working great.

Now when I try to setup Xen HVM Guests (Windows, Ubuntu Desktop), I am not able to figure out how I should change the network settings to use the Hetzner routed network properly.

What will be the pointopoint equivalent for Windows?

Can anyone who has been able to achieve this share his knowledge?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for the reply but Linux PV are working fine. I am trying to experiment with the Windows HVM machines.

No luck until now.

if you not aware you can use NATed network instead routed/bridge. that should be done in Hetzner or OVH server.

Hello,

We are already using Routed setup for the Xen PV VPS. Is it possible to use NAT for Windows HVM guests side by side?

i believe you could do that, by creating another bridge with a virtual IP (eg 10.0.0.0/8), assign the real IP to your server eth0:0/1/2/3.../x and then with some iptables rules forward all packets from 10.0.0.0/8 ip to the real one and vice versa...

yes.. something like here http://markmail.org/message/zn4utdiyhwqra67c

but i'm not really sure it'll work. that patch is very old. and i didn't touch any Xen virtualization since years ago. sorry.

Any one who could guide with something else?

Xen HVM doesn´t work with routing network. It work´s only with bridging.

Hello,

Can we use bridged and routed network simultaneously?

I mean we already have routed setup for Xen PV VPS. Can we create bridged simultaneously for Xen HVM?
