33.19. Duplicating an existing guest and its configuration file

The MAC address must define a unique MAC address for each guest. This is automatically done if the standard tools are used. If you are copying a guest configuration from an existing guest you can use the script Section 33.9, “Generating a new unique MAC address”.

If you are moving or duplicating an existing guest configuration file to a new host you have to make sure you adjust the xenbr entry to correspond with your local networking configuration (you can obtain the bridge information using the command brctl show command).

Device entries, make sure you adjust the entries in the disk= section to point to the correct guest image.

Modify the HWADDR address to the output from ifconfig eth0

Modify the IPADDR entry if a static IP address is used.
