Next, we copied the /etc/xen/xm_c32_001 configuration file to the replacement server. We generated a new UUID using the "uuidgen" utility. We also created a new MAC address. Finally, we started the instance:
Since you moved your virtual machine, you wouldn´t have to create a new UUID and no new MAC address. This is only required if you copy a virtual machine and if you want both up at the same time.
Yes.. It's possible that we may have multiple copies of these systems.. Also, I un
xm create xm_c32_001
Everything came up, but no network. From the root console we logged in then edited the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Xen had apparently renamed the script and put in a DHCP configuration. We just renamed the backup file and commented out the MAC address line and restarted networking, *and* ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0.
This is because you changed the MAC address. If you would have left it at the original value, the network would have started right away with the old config.
:D
Yes.. My error caused by re-using a script that autogenerated the config file. I had been playing with VMWare Lab Manager recently and was looking to emulate the template functionality in Xen.
