Ganeti with Guix tutorial from the Guix blog post

[david larsson]

Hi!

First of all - thanks for a great post about using Ganeti with Guix!

I need some help with the networking setup part since I am stuck at the 
end stages of the blog post tutorial - I am unable to run "gnt-instance 
console <someVM>". So, I have things setup enough to create these VM's 
successfully but I can't ping the hosts or connect to them using 
gnt-instance console <someVM>. Any ideas what the issue might be?

One thing I noticed was that the arp -n output are giving me 
"(incomplete)" listings in the "HWaddress" column (arp from the 
net-tools package), which IMU means that ethernet/layer2 frames are not 
passed around correctly - usually meaning that bridges aren't setup 
properly, right? This applies to the 192.168.1.200 lan address and the 
ip address assigned to the VM hosts which I manually set to 
192.168.1.210 instead of ip=pool as in the example. My local network is 
setup to use 192.168.1.0/24 addresses.

I think it would be great if blog posts like these had comments enabled, 
so that people trying to follow a tutorial would be able to discuss and 
help eachother directly on the blog post page.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
David
