Rep Power: 53   |  P2V method that retains IP, regardless of network card? A physical or vmware to xen conversion creates a new virtual nic, which gets a dhcp lease instead of the static ip set to the physical card. When Xen tools is installed, the card changes again (default virtual realtek to Xen PV Nic) and grabs a dhcp lease again. I'm going to end up scripting something that reapplies the original ip settings and forces re-registration in dns based on hostname aren't I? |

Rep Power: 5  | I think you will need to script it, the script would look something like this: netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 1 netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.200 primary ipconfig /registerdns |

Blog Entries: 1 Rep Power: 103  | Hmm I know that SCVMM migrations keep ip/mac but I am not sure if it outputs xen. It def can output a vmware image though I am sure so you could try it? |
