Here is the guts of changes made by the clone.sh script from "The Virtualization Cookbook". The variable names should be self-explanatory: cat $master_mnt_pt/etc/HOSTNAME | sed \ -e "s/$source_hostname/$target_hostname/g" > $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/HOSTNAME cat $master_mnt_pt/etc/hosts | sed \ -e "s/$source_IP/$target_IP/g" \ -e "s/$source_guestID/$clone_id/g" \ -e "s/$source_domain/$source_domain/g" > $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/hosts cat $master_mnt_pt/etc/defaultdomain | sed \ -e "s/$source_domain/$source_domain/g" > $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/defaultdomain cat $master_mnt_pt/etc/sysconfig/network/routes | sed \ -e "s/$source_GW/$target_GW/g" > $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/sysconfig/network/routes cat $master_mnt_pt/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.$source_readdev | sed \ -e "s/$source_IP/$target_IP/g" \ -e "s/$source_MTU/$target_MTU/g" \ -e "s/$source_mask/$target_mask/g" > \ $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.$target_readdev cat $master_mnt_pt/etc/resolv.conf | sed \ -e "s/$source_domain/$source_domain/g"\ -e "s/$source_DNS/$target_DNS/g" > $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/resolv.conf # Regenerate SSH keys echo "Regenerating SSH keys in $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/ssh/ ..." rm $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/ssh/ssh_host* ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -q -f $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key ssh-keygen -t dsa -N "" -q -f $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -N "" -q -f $cloned_mnt_pt/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key Hope this helps.
