Ok - so for this type of VM, I should: * Keep my vm definition templates in a known location * Use persistent disks for them. * Hardcode the MAC and VLAN/etc in the files * If I need to make a change, I would shutdown the machine, edit the file and create a new VM, bypassing the opennebula template files. > > > 3.

I just found OpenNebula Service Manager: http://opennebula.org/software:ecosystem:oneservice which seems to do exactly what I need Thanks for the help Chris _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.opennebula.org http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org
