Is there a reason why virt-manager does not allow for entering static
ip addressing parameters when creating a new guest?
It's true that eventually an anaconda dialog comes up allowing their
entry, but that approach doesn't work well at all:
- first have to wait for ipv4 AND ipv6 dhcp efforts to time out
- after the anaconda static networking dialog, it tries AGAIN to do dhcp
Eventually the OS installed, but:
- the route is not set during %post, or in /etc/sysconfig/network
- /etc/hosts does not have the ipv4 ip address and hostname
- ip address not set in ifcfg-eth0...
In short, it seems that using the networking dialog like this only
allows for installation of the OS, not %post or actual system
configuration, even when the kickstart file contains the same static
configuration info (?!).
On the other hand, everything works fine when using virt-install and
passing the ip parameters as a string with '-x'. Why not provide
virt-manager with this option, even if it's a single text box for all
the 'extra' parameters?
thanks,
Ed
