Creating Xen DomU's, now with actual connectivity

Posted on 2nd November 2007. Tagged as mampi, tips, xen

xen-tools is a useful connection of scripts.

However, when you're creating a new Xen guest, don't forget to specify the correct gateway and netmask. Otherwise, you may end up spending a whole evening trying to figure out a routing problem which doesn't actually exist.

xen-create-image --hostname=example.com\ 
                      --ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\
                      --gateway=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\
                      --netmask 255.255.255.0\
                      --dist=etch\
                      --passwd\
                      --boot
