Hi everyone,



I'm running with Essex 2012.1,

and have some questions about the nova network operation,



1. Is it possible manually assigned IP address to a launched instance, my
situation is :

after instance boot up (OS: CentOS 6.2), I changed the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 setting

from dhcp to static (the same subnet as created by command : nova-manage
create network....), and restart the network service,

And then I couldn't ssh or ping the instance from other server with the
same subnet.

What is the problem ?  I checked the iptables policies on the compute host,
and find nothing about the DROP packets.
I also tried to change the DB record from nova.fixed_ips table and
libvirt.xml of the instance directory, then reboot the instance, I can see
the instance get new IP from DHCP, but still not worked(can't ping & ssh).

I used FlatDHCP  as my network manager.



2. According to the first question, I have another requirement to set up a
loopback IP address (lo:0) on the running instance, after setting
completed,I couldn't ping or ssh the loopback IP from the same subnet, and
I tried to set a alias IP address with eth0:0, but still not get worked.

Any ideas with this ?



3. Is there any way to use 2 NICs with different subnets on instances? I
want to separate the network traffic.

Now I'm running with one bridged interface (br100), and it works well.  In
order to backup the large log files,

I'm planing to use 2 NICs for the compute hosts, I want use 2 vNICs on
instance, one for web service and the other for log backup,

I think I should create a new network for the second bridged interface, but
I can't find any document to guild me.
