Re: Problem on MAC address

To change or set the mac address in /etc/network/interfaces the
syntax is:

hwaddress ether 00:16:3e:0a:c0:fb

But, you really shouldn't have to do this in xen, xen should take
care of
that for you and present the mac address to your vm.

Hi Jeff,


Thanks for your advice.


If building a new Guest with "xen-create-image" Xen will take care of
everything. I can ping the new Guest on either hostname or IP address.



If creating a new Guest by cloning an existing disk.img and swap.img.
The new Guest works without problem. But I can't ping it on its
hostname, always complaining host not found. However I can ping its IP
address without problem. I suspect whether MAC address can help me.
