Now my network interface information for the domU is in the kickstart file so when I move forward in the tool there's a message saying that its trying to determine a network address, presumably via DHCP (I am unable to put a dhcp server on this network). From the command line I can use wget against the kickstart file at the URL I'm providing so that's OK.
I'm obviously overlooking something but its currently got me puzzled. So how is this supposed to work? Am I supposed to do the network configuration for the installation somewhere else?
The network information is passed with -x "boot parameters" just as if you were booting a CD but wanted to do an unattended network install.
I'm using a templatized script, but the resulting cmdline version is the following:
virt-install --nonsparse -b xenbr1.246 --vncport=5905 -p \ -l http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/centos/5/os/i386 \ -f /var/lib/xen/images/host05.xvda -s 20G -n host05 -r 256 --vnc \ -x "cmdline ks=http://repo-server/kickstart/host05.cfg ksdevice=eth0 \ ip=X.X.X.X \ netmask=X.X.X.X \ gateway=X.X.X.X \ dns=X.X.X.X
