Hi, I did find the persistent names link useful, but still do not see how that can be incorporated into the <ask> section. These servers will have several interfaces and I need to set a specific IP to a specific interface. I was hoping that by using the <ask> section I could have a generic .xml file and not need to hard code a MAC address into the .xml file like the example for persistent names. How does one know what is the correct <path> for a device? Is there a utility or cmd that can give that info?

that really worked? actually the path is wrong. But what confuses me even more is, that SLES10 had not <ask> feature at all. Did you use a driverupdate or SLES for SAP or so?
I have tried using the <listentry> sections but can not find the right combinations nor documentation.
Here is the <listentry> I have so far...
<listentry> or <ask> - that does not matter. Both keys work in the same way. You might want to read the the FAQ about persistent device names on SLES11: http://www.suse.de/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#a9
<listentry> <default>172.16.163.223</default> <path>networking,interfaces,0,ipaddr</path>
the path is correct -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net listening to: "Barbara Ann" by Blind Guardian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org ----------------------------------------- The information in this message may be proprietary and/or confidential, and protected from disclosure.
