Problems adding second static ip on a OpenVZ with cPanel

[amil]

Hi,
I am experimenting problems adding new IP´s over a openVZ (managed with HyperVM) which i manage with cPanel.
In "Alternate Main Ethernet Device" i set it to: "venet0:0".

"Add new ip address" - i can add ip, and in "Show IP address usage" I can see IPs that i have addded in GREEN.

But.. for example I migrate a hosting to dedicated ip and recognizes IP fut ping timeout.. can´t stablish connection.
It seems could be any kind of network config...

Here, the interfaces and addresses assigned:

This is the main interface, working perfectly:

venet0:0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:62.x.x.160 P-t-P:62.x.x.160 Bcast:62.x.x.160 Mask:255.255.255.255

And two IP i have added later in WHM but..doesnt ping:

venet0:0:1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:62.x.x.165 P-t-P:62.x.x.165 Bcast:62.x.x.191 Mask:255.255.255.192
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
-------------------
venet0:1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:62.x.x.167 P-t-P:62.x.x.167 Bcast:62.x.x.191 Mask:255.255.255.192
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1


IN MASTER:
The master server have this config (in eth0), this is the dedicated:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:B9:F9:C6:65
inet addr:62.x.x.152 Bcast:62.212.74.191 Mask:255.255.255.192

venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:17626388 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

(venet0 in master not show any ip).

Thanks for help

I have this exact same scenario running with no problems for months. I don't recall having to do anything special to make it happen. I would look at firewall rules....

If you're using csf on the VPS, make sure ETH_DEVICE="" and on the host, ETH_DEVICE="eth0"

Hi Robert!
Amazing hear this, but i do not have no one software firewall (in master or slave). Nor cfs or apf...
Could you give me some info about your conf or anyting to compare?

Thanks!

Hi,
I solved this adding manually a secondary ip, with vzctl in master:

vzctl set {CTID} --ipadd {n.n.n.n} --save

Once made, in WHM, i recalculate ip-pool and I can now work with this ip fully, working 100%.

For any reason, if I add the ip with cPanel doesn´t assign correctly the ip (in network restart unmade network changes), maybe is a cPanel bug over OpenVZ?

Hope this help

Amil
