Indeed. On SuSE this is done in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp with
DHCLIENT_CLIENT_ID. By default it's blank. But,
DHCLIENT_CLIENT_ID=`/usr/bin/awk '/VM00 Name:/ { print $NF }' /proc/sysinfo`
This was the foundation of a lot of DR and provisioning automation for us. I've
spent more than a little time to no avail, trying to determine whether this is
even possible with, for example, Xen. Disappointing, as it's such a simple
thing.
ok
bear.
