Aaahhh, so there is no direct interaction between the image and the Host then ... (other than network bridging)

Next question then: The resulting install will be an image - how does the templating system get utilized to update IP address / hostname, and Any other custom kernel arguments ? you need to customize your image to load context parameter (http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.2:cong). Or your template only sets the MAC address and you connect to a DHCP server.

If I want to create a vm - what is the best way to do this ? Ie: I have the CentOS 6.2 dvd image. I would like to build a Linux "Base" image that will then get extended by a template to be a DNS or DB or WEB server. I have used cobbler to do this on existing machine based installations with success, but I am trying to figure out how To do this with a VM deployment. When I create a filesystem, I use a raw image file. When trying a qcow type image - centos doesn't see any disk space. Then, I build a VM through the virt-manager interface - but surely I can do this within OpenNebula ? OpenNebula is not for VM creation. You can indeed use virt-manager, or VirtualBox (then transform your image to approriate format). If you have an empty disk image, you could attach a CentOS DVD image to "CDROM" then connect to the VNC of your image to do the install but I don't think it is the easiest/better thing to do. My apologies for sounding naïve- just trying to get to grips with all of this .. :) Regards, Adrian Snyman Linux Systems Administrator Tel: 011-559-4929 Cell: 082-600-1211 ________________________________ This email and all contents are subject to the following disclaimer: http://disclaimer.uj.ac.za _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.opennebula.org<mailto:Users@lists.opennebula.org> http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org -- Olivier Sallou IRISA / University of Rennes 1 Campus de Beaulieu, 35000 RENNES - FRANCE Tel: 02.99.84.71.95 gpg key id: 4096R/326D8438 (keyring.debian.org) Key fingerprint = 5FB4 6F83 D3B9 5204 6335 D26D 78DC 68DB 326D 8438 ________________________________ This email and all contents are subject to the following disclaimer: http://disclaimer.uj.ac.za -- Olivier Sallou IRISA / University of Rennes 1 Campus de Beaulieu, 35000 RENNES - FRANCE Tel: 02.99.84.71.95 gpg key id: 4096R/326D8438 (keyring.debian.org) Key fingerprint = 5FB4 6F83 D3B9 5204 6335 D26D 78DC 68DB 326D 8438 ________________________________ This email and all contents are subject to the following disclaimer: http://disclaimer.uj.ac.za
