I've just wondering whether is it possible to change the virtual network
that a virtual machine is attached once it has been working (deploy->run).
With 'onevnet' you can change some settings of an network, eg.
leases / mac addresses. But as I understand, you try to modify
stuff which belongs to the VM itself.
I've tried to modify the deployment.0 file but it did not affect the new
restarted machine. Might be a problem with the underlying MySQL database
that has to be also changed?
As far as I know, it is currently not supported to change an
already running VM.
Use Case:
*create a new virtual machine and just forgot to attach a virtual network
*modify a virtual network (in case of VLAN change)
*attach a new interface to a running machine.
The steps which could work, and will give minimum downtime are
probably the following:
- update your VM template with the new / changed network / NIC
- run 'onevm shutdown <vm_id>' (with a registered persistent disk
image, all the modifications in the VM are preserved).
- wait until shutdown has completed, check with 'onevm list' or
better 'onevm top'
- run 'onevm create <template>' and the same VM will boot up (now
with a different VM ID, but with the same registered persistent
disk image)
