Fedora xen - Apr 2006 - How to configure eth0 via xen config files

Hi,

I have one host with two guests. All of them are FC5 and working just
fine (since I don''t have firewall enabled at the host). So, I was
wondering if there is a method to give the guest the IP (and
gateway/dns) when Xen boot the virtual machine. And if there''s a way
to do this, how can I configure the guests to take the IP (and
gateway/dns)?

TIA,

No you didn''t. Maybe my question don''t make sense...

But It''s exactly what I''m doing now. So, if I need to
replicate about
20 guests, each one with your own static IP, I can use DHCP and
enforce IP''s using mac addr. But, is it possible to do this using the
Xen configuration files for the vm''s? Just to get somethings a bit
simple avoiding DHCP.

And thanks for your answer.

Hello Walter

Can''t you kickstart your guest? Like this, you can specify everything
from
the beginning.
