Wouldn't it just be simpler to use DHCP? The ISC DHCP server can be configured to ignore all requests and serve only systems presenting a known client-id. Get the VM userid with vmcp, and you're good to go. That's already in the existing ramfs, and you don't have to support anything. If you can't control the DHCP server, use user-assigned MAC addresses and have the DHCP server admin put the right things in. No need to configure things in at all. If you're trying to do HA for Red Hat on Z, we just released a tool to do that which RH seems to be happy with.
