Re: [Xen-users] XCP assigning VMs static IPs before they're started

[Dustin Marquess <dmarquess@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since you're using bridging, XCP doesn't assign IPs, period.  The only
thing it could possibly do with the IP is to firewall it to make sure
the VM isn't trying to use a different IP.

Maybe you're talking about passing the IP as a boot argument that the
network scripts pickup?  In that case, you'd want to add it to the
PV_args setting.
