If a vm join AD domain, the name is registered in the AD server, when I copy a VM, the name will conflict with the source VM. I wanna to know if I can change the VM computer name automaticly.
When I (automatically) create my test VM's, I give them hard coded MAC addresses. Then in the anaconda kickstart %post section, I enable a service I called 'transmogrify' that looks at the MAC address, and then bind-mounts the appropriate config files into /etc/ (such as /etc/sysconfig/network containing the hostname). This happens before the network starts. So then I copy this disk image into multiple COW images and boot all test machines from 1 disk image, and they boot and get their individual identities based of the MAC of the VM, which I hardcode in the XML files I use with "virsh define" command.
Though this solution obviously is based on running Linux in the VM guests. Paul _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
