Hello All, I have a question regarding the domain XML and its conversion to hypervisor specific config files. I am using libvirt to talk to vmware ESX. ESX has a feature where you can add a line such as: guestinfo.xxx=abc in the .vmx file that describes the VM. Later, the guest can extract the value of the variable xxx and use it. One potential use for such a mechanism is to pass in the public key string for the root user. Another use could be for passing in the static ip address to the VM. For example, the following line can be added to the .vmx file for the VM: guestinfo.ipaddress=10.0.0.223 In the guest, running the command: $ vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.ipaddress" will print out 10.0.0.223, and this value can be used by the script to configure the static IP address. My question is this: Is there a way for me to add this line 'guestinfo.ipaddress=10.0.0.223' to the domain XML. When this domain XML is converted to a .vmx file, and the resulting VM is registered with ESX, I want the line 'guestinfo.ipaddress=10.0.0.223' to be passed through unmolested to the .vmx file. Thanks and keep up the good work. libvirt is a useful abstraction for those of us needing to work with multiple virtualization technologies. -- Jagane
