Failed to start default nework in KVM
Issue
- I have RHEL7 host (it is OSP6 controler)
- For development purposed I wanted to use it simultaneously as KVM host as I do on RHEL6 servers.
- On working RHEL6 I have:
# virsh net-list
Name State Autostart Persistent
--------------------------------------------------
default active yes yes
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
virbr0 8000.525400048221 yes virbr0-nic
vnet3
vnet4
vnet5
vnet6
- On RHEL7 the default network is missing
# virsh net-list
Name State Autostart Persistent
----------------------------------------------------------
# virsh net-start default
error: failed to get network 'default'
error: Network not found: no network with matching name 'default'
- There is no even libvirt.log on RHEL7.
- My goal was to be able to start VM under KVM and be able to use 192.168.122.1 interface to have internet access from them using NAT forwarding (aka "virtual networks„) provided by KVM.
