Hi,
I would like to set the hostname when installing a guest, with the below command the hostname is not set to 'try06' in the guest:
virt-install --name=try06 --graphic none --pxe --network bridge=virbr0
This is the name of the guest registered in libvirt. I don't think that virt-install has wired up setting hostname, but it looks like it can do it. I mean, use --name for both libvirt name and guest hostname.
Note that, while virt-install might be modified to automatically set the hostname in cases where it has full control of the installation process (--unattended), in the general case the user is performing the installation steps themselves in the context of the guest and virt-install has no way of knowing, or influencing, what happens there.
No argument there, in my case I'm doing a full unattended installation! :) Thanks for the (--unattended) hint, will look into that and thanks to Michal Prívozník for 'libvirt-nss plugin'. -- John Doe
