Try this that has been working for me when I added a name (in /etc/hosts host's file) to the IP used by the guess: $ sudo kill -HUP `pidof dnsmasq`
Howerver I get a different (related trouble): custom host definition is not honor with my configuration (even after rebooting the host). dnsmasq give a adress from the dhcp range to my VM. Here is my config /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml <network> <name>default</name> <bridge name="virbr%d" /> <forward/> <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"> <dhcp> <range start="192.168.122.100" end="192.168.122.239" /> <host mac="52:54:00:bf:0f:d0" name="test" ip="192.168.122.10" /> </dhcp> </ip> </network> sudo grep 52:54:00:bf:0f:d0 /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/test.xml: <mac address='52:54:00:bf:0f:d0'/> Do you have any idea that may explain why this doesn't work ? -- libvirt can't add host definitions to DHCP without network restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
