Hi folks,


Debian Etch
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.
