I built 6 templates, one for each architecture(i386, x86_64) for FC2, FC4, & FC6. I used the following commands on the host VE to add the network information for each VE:

vzctl set <VEID> --ipadd xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --save

However, whenever I try and do this for the FC2 VEs it says that the address is already in use. I can stop the VE and run the commands again and they complete without error. But when I start up the VE the network info doesn't exist. I have checked and no other machine on the network is using this IP.


[root@build1 dists]# vzctl set 201 --ipadd xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --save
Adding IP address(es): xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Unable to add IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Address already in use
Saved parameters for VE 201

[root@build1 dists]# vzctl enter 201
entered into VE 201
[root@ve201.build1 /]# ifconfig -a

When I stop the VE and look at /proc/vz/veinfo, the ip information isn't there, but it is there while running.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening. I am not able to track it down.

Dear Inverted,

vzctl uses distro-depended scripts for adding IP:
IMHO FC based VE's should use following one /etc/vz/dists/scripts/fedora-core-add_ip.sh

Probably in your case vzctl uses incorrect script version.
You can trace the script, hope it helps to clarify the situation.

thank You,
Vasily Averin
