Integrity guest can't ping anything but itself

[donald evans]

I created a guest off of a Integrity server. The hosts can't ping the new guest - I can only get to the guest through the console. On the guest I can't ping the host or gateway. The host and guest are on the same subnet.

host IP is 10.11.1.251
Guest 10.11.1.253
Gateway 10.11.1.1

Would the auto port aggregation cause a problem if not setup correct.

I don't think there's enough data here.

What do the routing tables on the guest look like ? Also, the vmswitch config ? I can't remember the exact syntax, it's something like "hpvmnet status " to look at it.

Here is the route table on the guest

OK. Your host is utilizing "tagged vlans". I can tell because the interface PPA's are in the range of 5000+. The packets sent and received by the host have a special "Vlan ID" that tells the switch which vlan they belong to. Lan5981, 5982, and 5986 all have different vlan ids

Your guest doesn't have these tags, so the host never sees the guest's packets, and vice versa. You would have to set up a vlan on the guest that uses the same vlan id as lan5986 on the host, since they both seem to be on the same subnet, 10.11.1.x

I'm not sure if virtual machine supports vlans or not. If not, you'll have to set up an untagged vlan (like lan0) on the host for the shared network with the guests.

I'm sorry to be vague in my answer, I know just enough on vlan and virtual machine to be dangerous. Hope this helps, or that someone else can be more specific.
