[lxc-users] Cannot create a macvlan private bridge on lx

[Anjali Kulkarni]

Hi,

We are trying to have a VM and a container ping each other via a private
bridge (not going through host) via macvlan interface. A bridge, lxcbr1 is
already created and contains a link from VM, and we want to add container
to it as well. 
To do that, on adding the foll. config to a container, the error shown
below is seen, and tips about how to fix this issue?

Config:
lxc.network.type = macvlan
lxc.network.macvlan.mode = bridge
lxc.network.flags = down
lxc.network.name = eth0
lxc.network.link = lxcbr1
lxc.network.ipv4 = 1.1.1.1/24


Error seen:
lxc-start: failed to move 'lxcbr1' to the container : Invalid argument
lxc-start: failed to create the configured network
lxc-start: failed to spawn 'test'
lxc-start: The container failed to start.
lxc-start: Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile
and --log-priority options.

Thanks
Anjali
