How do you preserve hostname and IP address if you want to spin a box up from scratch again....assuming you are using advanced networking and dhcp?

You can change the template of your VM by manually editing the database and then shut it down and restart it. This way at the next start CS will re-deploy the new template for the VM and start it.   Please be aware this is not recommended in production due to this method will confuse the storage clean-up scripts and will kill your live VM in case the old template it was based on no longer required. It is always recommended to create a new VM instance with the new template.   Regards   From: Trevor Francis [mailto:trevor.francis@tgrahamcapital.com]  Sent: 04 January 2013 19:25 To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org Subject: Reimage Instance   Is there a way through the Cloudstack UI, to respin an already active instance with a new template? I see a way in the API, but nothing in the UI.   Trevor Francis Partner 46 Labs | PeerEdge Cloud Switch (PeCS) http://www.46labs.com | http://www.peeredge.net 720-214-3643- Voice tre...@46labs.com   Solutions Provider for the Telecom Industry
