Hi,

I have setup many, many vps nodes - but ovh's network is literally killing me...

I do a custom install (so i do not use their kernel)
I then install solusvm ...
I also then add the ip block - but the vps's never get any connectivity...

I am pretty sure it is to do with the IP's - since I can configure/troubleshoot on the node side and it seems fie...

Any ideas? I'd appreciate it - if someone with past experience on ovh network comes up?

Cheers!

i tried the ip of the server, and an ip of the server but ending in .254 ... they both just dont work. Tried all subnet masks too - no luck.
 
solusvm takes just the gateway and subnet mask.

If i do it the manual way and edit the config file on the vps, then it will be manual and I will have to do it every other vps.
 
I had installed successfully on Centos OS from OVH with their Kernal and added the IP configs and luckily it worked lol :D
 
Make sure you add a eth0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts or you will get mails from them :P

PHP:
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=170.32.63.11
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=170.32.63.254
 
I don't know how solusvm functions, but if it is anything like xen, you will have to use bridged networking.

In which case, you will need to provide the vm with an IP address, netmask and gateway (these all need to correspond to the IP address you are trying to assign). If you are unsure of what the correct values are, try raising a ticket with OVH support.

Hey mate.

Do you mind telling me how you got this working? I can't seem to get these networking routing things working automatically in SolusVM.
 
What we did was assign one other IP from another block, which worked - and then the non working IPs also worked.

Weird setup, but it resolved it :P

Cheers,

Do not change anything on main server.
Just use the server main Ip address as default gateway in solusvm.
That is what I do , and is working perfect :)

Let me know if any1 has more problem , happy to assist :)

Yes, tahts what i did to begin with. However, due to some weird reason, when I added another IP from another block - it activated the "dead" appearing IPs :P And then it worked.

Thats what I mean :P
 
So what I've done is installed a blank fresh new CentOS (no OVH kernel etc)
Then installed OpenVZ and SolusVM.

I then add the correct gateway and ips (ips with their assigned mac addresses)

But are there any other steps I need to do to get this to work automatically?
At the current moment I have to go in and add "post-up route add" etc in the interfaces file to get networking working.

I'd kinda like it if it worked automatically.

Cheer,

Lqkas,

It's not always required to assign a different mac to IP address in OVH. I've worked with both openvz and vmware and both ran fine without problems. The automated setup for VPS (openvz) works fine as well.
 
Hi, H-Abdullah.
No matter what I do it doesn't work. I've tried setting the virtual MAC OVH gives me. And I've tried auto.

Doing route -n gives this.
Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 venet0
