Hi Carsten,
I started the VM image with kvm and I saw the the problem was that the VM was not halted correctly (I used onevm shutdown <vm_id>). Therefore the VM gave error during the boot process. So, to avoid the previous problem, I logged into the VM and I executed halt. After that I used the "onevm shutdown <vm_id> ". In this way, the new image was created fine.

Nevertheless, it is interesting what you said about the networks, because I think that I am having this problem in an VM with Ubuntu server. I copied the file vmcontext.sh in the /etc/init.d and in /etc/rc2.d/ but when I start the VM it doesn't get an IP address. I have just googled and I found that removing the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-/persistent/-net.rules" could solve the problem. However, if it works and you are using a persistent image, you should remove this file each time that you deploy such image. Anyway, I will try this to see what happens.

Thanks,
Javi

Hi Javi,

My first guess would be that the network interface in the VM has problems. You 
can confirm this by starting the VM with VNC enabled. If it comes up alright 
log in through VNC and check the network interface connection.

Hard to guess what went wrong, but one thing you might want to look at: Some Linux 
distros (and I don't know if ttylinux is one of them) keep track of what network cards 
they have seen (identifying them by their MAC address). The first time a network card is 
found, it is bound to a network device, e.g. eth0. If Linux then finds a network card 
with a different MAC address it assigns it to a different device, e.g. eth1. It does so 
even if the first card is not present (as it interprets this scenario as "a second 
card has been added to the machine and the first one is currently (temporarily) 
disabled"; which with real network cards that don't change their MAC address is the 
most likely scenario). Now, this does not work well with OpenNebula as the VM is likely 
to get a different MAC address for each launch; this will be assigned to a new network 
device and your /etc/network/interfaces file probably only includes a configuration for 
eth0 (which does not exist). If this turns out to be the case, there is a setting in 
Linux to prevent it from remembering cards. I forgot what exactly it is, but it should be 
easy to Google.

Subject: [one-users] onevm saveas problem

   Hi,
I'm using OpenNebula 2.0 and I'm trying to save a VM with the "onevm
saveas" command. The VM is the ttylinux provided by you as example and
the only modification that I've made is create a file. The problem is
that when I start the saved VM (with the same parameters except the
Image name) I can't access it using ssh.  If I execute "onevm show
<id>", Its status is "runn" and it has an private IP address assigned.
Any idea what is happening?

Thanks you in advance.

Regards,
Javi
