[modi dhawal]

Hi Experts,

 

I am using OpenVZ server for virtualization, now today morning i wont able to start its service or nor even restart it. So i checked some of files in that. After that i come to know that i wont able to see its venet0 card in ifconfig. The Result of ifconfig is :

 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr C8:60:00:70:10:33
          inet addr:10.0.0.xxx  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::ca60:ff:fe70:1033/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:7306 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3464 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:710202 (693.5 KiB)  TX bytes:1514562 (1.4 MiB)
          Interrupt:58 Base address:0x4000

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:322 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:322 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:43621 (42.5 KiB)  TX bytes:43621 (42.5 KiB)

So i restart the network service, but in that i am getting the error :

 

[root@localhost network-scripts]# /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface Auto_eth0:  RTNETLINK answers: File exists
                                                           [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface venet0:  Device venet0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
                                                           [FAILED]

So the please help me to solve this problem, i have searched a lot but dont get any solution. I am using centos 6, the details for it is : [root@localhost network-scripts]# uname -r
2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.x86_64

 

Also my iptables are stop. /etc/init.d/iptables status
iptables: Firewall is not running.

 

Please help me out so that i can start my server. Please

 

Thanks

HI Dhawal

It seems that you have not booted your system with OpenVZ supported Kernel. So would request you install it if not done & boot it with.
