[Xen-devel] Unable to assign DomU ip-address from config file or disable dhcp

[Madhuri Venkatesh <madhureev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
im using a fedoraCore 8 domU and fedoraCore 8 as my dom0 on xen3.1.0-13.

i want to manually assign an ip to the domUs,and i tried using the "ip=" parameter in the config file.

my config file reads:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-2950.fc8xen"

ramdisk="/boot/initrd-2.6.21-2950.fc8xen-no-scsi.img"
memory = 428
name = "fedora1.fc8"
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:03,ip=192.168.2.105' ]
dhcp = "off"
netmask = "255.255.255.0"
gateway = "192.168.2.102"
disk = ['file:/xen/fedora1/fedora.fc8.img,sda1,w', 'file:/xen/fedora1/fedora.swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
vfb = [ 'type=vnc ,vncdisplay=12' ]

but the domU does not get the ip, it gets a xen- assigned dhcp ip-address.

ive tried :
extra = "eth0 =192.168.2.105,255.255.255.0"
in the config file and that does not seem to improve the situation either.

Is there any work-around so i can assign domU ip from the config file?
