Hi folks,
Debian Etch (both Host and Guest)
Xen
On cloning disk.img I suppose it also copies the MAC address of the
original image to the new image resulting in "ping hostname" unable to
find the new hostname.
Following is my test;
# dd if=/vserver/domains/xen5.satimis.com/disk.img
of=/vserver/domains/xen6.satimis.com/disk.img bs=4k
# dd if=/vserver/domains/xen5.satimis.com/swap.img
of=/vserver/domains/xen6.satimis.com/swap.img bs=4k
# xm list --long xen5.satimis.com

MAC Address
xen5.satimis.com :-
(mac 00:16:3e:32:ab:e7)
xen6.satimis.com
(mac 00:16:3e:0a:c0:fb)
# nano /etc/network/interfaces
making following change
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.116 = mac 00:16:3e:0a:c0:fb
gateway 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
Remark:-
Also tried;
address 192.168.0.116 = MAC of mac 00:16:3e:0a:c0:fb
address 192.168.0.116 = 00:16:3e:0a:c0:fb
address 192.168.0.116 = MAC of 00:16:3e:0a:c0:fb
None of them worked.
