Hi folks,
OpenVZ
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy - Host
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy - Guests
Both host and guests are working. They can ping and ssh-connect each other on IP. But they can't ping nor ssh connect each and others on hostname. I have been playing around on hosts, hostname, resolv.conf, etc. for the whole day without a solution. Please help. TIA
B.R.

Well the if the VE.A its 192.168.1.1 and the VE.B its: 192.168.1.2 the way to get work the hostname its edit /etc/hosts in each VE and add:
VE.A editing /etc/hosts
192.168.1.2 maquina2
VE.B editing /etc/hosts
192.168.1.1 maquina1
from VE.A ping maquina2
from VE.B ping maquina1
This should work, if not see if you don't have a DNS server who kill your request from one VE to another, another way to see its /etc/nsswitch.conf this file control the priority to solve a name:
hosts: files dns
Check if if files its the first in your VE's

Hi kenjy,
Thanks for your advice. It works for me.
$ egrep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
If there are >20 VE (guests) running the list will be a long one.
I heard winbind can solve the problem as well but never trying it. It needs only a simple setup dislike setting up bind9.
Have you had any idea on the max number of VEs (guests) can run concurrently vs CPU + RAM? Of course all of them are headless server w/o graphic not requiring huge data storage.
B.R.
