Create a Network Interface for the Private VM Network

  • vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:5 
    DEVICE=eth0:5
BOOTPROTO=none

USERCTL=no
IPADDR=172.53.0.1
BROADCAST=172.53.0.255
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
  • /sbin/ifup eth0:5
  • vi /etc/hosts 
    127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 localvmhost
172.53.1.1 vmguest-1

Configure the Host Blade as a DHCP Server 

  • vi /etc/dhcpd.conf 
    ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

   subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 {
      # no dhcp support available
      # we are not authoritative for this network
      not authoritative;
   }
   subnet 172.53.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
      range 172.53.1.1 172.53.1.100;
      authoritative;
      max-lease-time 43200;

         option host-name "vmguest-1";
         hardware ethernet 00:50:56:06:FF:01;
         fixed-address 172.53.1.1;
         option dhcp-server-identifier 172.53.0.1;
      }
   }
}
  • /sbin/service dhcpd start
  • /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 dhcpd on

Configure Host Blade To Be Able To SSH To Itself

  • cat /etc/vcl/vcl.key.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
