hey,
Thanks for the help..,initially what i wanted was to assign ips using the config file ...something like:
name = "fedora%d"  % (vmid )
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:%d ,ip=192.168.2.%d' ] % (vmid,vmid)

but since that isnt working out ,il try assigning a static ip.It would be neat if there was a way to make it work using a parameter like the above line though,since i could mount many images..without having to configure each one,Thanks.

I have my DomUs running in bridged mode and have assigned them static IPs by providing network settings in the ifcfg-eth0 files inside each DomU. You could do the same by running all the guest domains in NAT mode too.

hi,
 The situation has it that i need to boot-up around anywhere between 1-10 images, and i need to know the ip address of each one of them to communicate with them later, so i thought my best bet would be to assign the ip in the config file(passing a parameter to the config script)..,my other option is to use dhcp and later determine the ip which does not seem easy going by the threads in this forum...if there is an easy way to do this id be happy with the xen-assigned dhcp address.Please tell me if there is a good way to do this,
Thanks

The way I would try it is to simply set dhcp="off" here and setup the eth0 config in ifcfg-eth0 in /etc/...

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

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.Help!
