Hi folks, There is a fundamental problem with Xen (at least as far as my current knowledge go) in bootstrapping a fully functional virtual machine, and its that you need to configure the network manually through the console, and this makes it a little difficult to manage, especially in a remote setup. Is there some way I can communicate with a program running inside a VM. The way it can work is that I have pre-created images all of which run a particular script. Now the there has to be some method to send data to this script. In Vmware, there is the vmService.exe program, using which you can get a particular string from the config file of the Virtual Machine (which is residing in the host). So there should be an option called as 'communication-string' in the virtual machine config file, and there should be a Xen utility which can get you this value from inside the VM. This can be used to configure static ip addresses inside the virtual machine. So is there some such mechanism already for Xen? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
