Beware that the default name Ganeti uses is ``xen-br0`` (which was used
320
in Xen 2.0) while Xen 3.0 uses ``xenbr0`` by default. The default bridge

your Ganeti cluster will use for new instances can be specified at

cluster initialization time.

in Xen 2.0) while Xen 3.0 uses ``xenbr0`` by default. See the
321
`Initializing the cluster`_ section to learn how to choose a different
322
bridge, or not to use one at all and use "routed mode".

324
If you want to run in "routing mode" you need to specify that at cluster
325
init time (using the --nicparam option), and then no bridge will be
326
needed. In this mode instance traffic will be routed by dom0, instead of
327
bridged.

In order to use "routed mode" under Xen, you'll need to change the

relevant parameters in the Xen config file. Under KVM instead, no config

change is necessary, but you still need to set up your network
332 327
interfaces correctly.

If you want to use a bridge which is not ``xen-br0``, or no bridge at

522
all, change it with the ``--nic-parameters`` option. For example to
523
bridge on br0 you can say::
524

  
525
  --nic-parameters link=br0
526

  
527
Or to not bridge at all, and use a separate routing table::

  --nic-parameters mode=routed,link=100

If the bridge name you are using is not ``xen-br0``, use the *-b
530
<BRIDGENAME>* option to specify the bridge name. In this case, you
531
should also use the *--master-netdev <BRIDGENAME>* option with the same
532
BRIDGENAME argument.
531
If you don't have a xen-br0 interface you also have to specify a
532
different network interface which will get the cluster ip, on the master
533
node, by using the ``--master-netdev <device>`` option.

You can use a different name than ``xenvg`` for the volume group (but
535 536
note that the name must be identical on all nodes). In this case you
