Virtualizor creates a service for Virtnetwork (bridge: viifbr0) on KVM and Xen.
Virtnetwork will be required for vps network.
If you get error message similar to ' The viifbr0 is not started. Please run service virtnetwork start ' on Admin dashboard/Create vps page after fresh install of Kvm/Xen Virtualizor then you will require to start virtnetwork service.
If the Interface name is other than eth0 ( let's assume em1 ) then go to
Virtualizor Admin panel -> Configuration -> Slave settings(choose server from dropdown to select a slave , if any) ->Network Interface >> em1 -> save.
You can find the interface name with ifconfig command.
You will need bridge-utils package installed on your server as well.
Before creating a network Bridge check if the module is loaded on the server:
lsmod | grep bridge
Then try to start virtnetwork service :
service virtnetwork start
If you get error message similar to 'Error : No Gateway Found , Please assign a Gateway' on starting virtnetwork service,
You can open network interface file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXX) and comment the keyword SCOPE and add GATEWAY entry and then try to start virtnetwork service.
Example :
#SCOPE="peer X.X.X.X"
and
GATEWAY=X.X.X.X
Note : Input correct network details as found on your datacenter panel to avoid issues in future.
You need to make sure the network interface file on your CentOS server ( /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-servers-interface-name ) and
on your Ubuntu server ( /etc/network/interfaces ) contain IP address, netmask and gateway entries.
For CentOS , it should look like this :
IPADDR=10.0.0.93
PREFIX=24 or NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.0.0.1For Ubuntu, it should look like this :
address 10.0.0.93
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1Alternatively, you can add network details in file /usr/local/virtualizor/universal.php , if you do not want to change above network files :
$globals['ipadd'] = '';
$globals['netmask'] = '';
$globals['gateway'] = '';
$globals['ip6add'] = '';
$globals['gateway6'] = '';And then you can try : service virtnetwork start
If you have an existing bridge created on your server (possibly in Xen: xenbr1 ) then you need to mention it in Configuration->Slave settings-> Paravirtualization Bridge and HVM Bridge .
Else you may need to mention viifbr0 in that page.
In case of KVM, if you have an existing bridge br0, then you can set that bridge name in /usr/local/virtualizor/universal.php file.
$globals['bridge'] = 'br0';If you want Virtnetwork to be a permanent bridge and not run as a service then you can follow this guide to create bridge :
https://www.virtualizor.com/docs/admin/kvm-bridge/#making-the-bridge-permanent
Note: After restarting virtnetwork service, existing vps might loose network in case of Ubuntu server.
In that case , if running "brctl show viifbr0" command doesn't shows the VPS(s) interface, you can run the below command to attach VPS(s) interface to the bridge.
Syntax : brctl addif bridge_name vps_interface
Example : brctl addif viifbr0 viifv1001
