[Xen-users] gplpv - tool to copy network config from qemu 8139 adapter to xen adapter
I''ve just pushed some changes to add a ''copyconfig'' utility which will copy the network configuration from the qemu rtl8139 adapter to the xen adapter. This is really really beta at the moment, so use at your own risk. Ultimately it will be a tick option in the installer that you will select on initial install, but not on upgrade. If you''ve ever changed network adapters in a windows domain controller you''ll understand why this will make your life easier :) To use it, you''ll need to recompile the drivers from the latest hg too, as a required change is that the xen drivers are no longer disabled when gplpv isn''t specified in boot.ini. Instead, the network driver always reports that the cable is disconnected, and the disk driver never enumerates any disks. This also makes the install a bit more straightforward in that you don''t have windows telling you that there was a problem with each and every driver on install (well, actually the xenvbd driver fails on the initial install for some reason still... not sure why yet) Please test on a dev system as these sorts of changes are the sort that corrupt disks if things go wrong.
