[Qemu-devel] VM with two interfaces

[Nirmal Guhan]

Hi,

Am trying to create a VM using qemu-kvm with two interfaces(fedora12
is the host and vm) and running into an issue. Given below is the
command :

qemu-kvm -net nic,macaddr=$macaddress,model=pcnet -net
tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -net nic,model=pcnet -net
tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -m 1024 -hda ./vdisk.img -kernel
./bzImage-1019 -append "ip=x.y.z.w:a.b.c.d:p.q.r.s:a.b.c.d
ip=x.y.z.u:a.b.c.d:p.q.r.s:a.b.c.d root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=x.y.z.v:/blahblahblah"

On boot, both eth0 and eth1 come up but the vm tries to send dhcp and
rarp requests instead of using the command line IP addresses. DHCP
would fail in my case.

With just one interface, dhcp is not attempted and nfs mount of root works fine.

Any clue on what could be wrong here?

Thanks,
Nirmal
