[Xen-users] Check list need to be done when cloning Xen VM (Para)
Hello, I am cloning a VM (Para), using LVM. Are there any checklist need to be done when I finished cloning? E.g. change Mac address, IP Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, I am guessing you mean internal to the PV VM (within the disk device attached as the root volume). These are the 2 main things: Networking (/etc/network/interfaces or /etc/sysconfig/network/*) Hostname (/bin/hostname $HOSTNAME and /etc/hostname et al) Also note you will want to use either LABEL or standard device paths for your disk volumes (like /dev/xvda1) and avoid UUIDs. This includes GRUB, /etc/fstab and anything passed to the kernel command line. If you have issues booting past initramfs make sure to check this with cat /proc/cmdline. Obviously you need to configure a new xen config file with a new name and point it to the new cloned volume as it''s root disk. Joseph.
