Good day. I spent some time on this problem and found three separate solution: 1) Use preseed/kickstart to create new VM by automated installation 2) Configure a 'mother' VM (wich one is cloned) with script, reading data from xenstore/pvargs and setting up system. 3) Detach vdi from cloned VM, attach it to 'master', perform configuration, reattach back to cloned VM After few tests I decide to use 1st method, as most puristic (new ssh keys, clean history, access log, etc). And, with debian preseed it does not take too much time: about 2 minutes on gigabit link to network storage. 21.06.10, 16:10, "David Heidt" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello List, > > are there any best practices of how to modify cloned Linux DomUs before > starting them? > > i.e. I have a cloned debian lenny and need logfiles truncated, > /etc/hosts modified and a different ip address configured. > > The Main focus is to create dummy-staging-VMs for our developers by > snapshotting production-VMs. > > There is one way of how to achieve this via filesystem access: > http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX117791 > but kpartx doesn't show any mappings in my setup (XCP 0.1.1) > > > Any other ideas? > > Best regards, > > David > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > -- wBR,George. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
