When I build my initial xml file using the clone feature it uses the MAC address of the server I created the xml file on.
-snip-
<interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth-id-00:1c:23:cb:7e:aa</device> <ipaddr>10.120.160.231</ipaddr> <netmask>255.255.254.0</netmask> <startmode>auto</startmode> <usercontrol>no</usercontrol> </interface> </interfaces>

<FW_DEV_EXT>any eth-id-00:1c:23:cb:7e:aa</FW_DEV_EXT>

...Rather than using <ask> and having the person installing the OS manually enter the MAC address is there something I can replace the MAC address with? Possibly just "eth0"?
Thanks

I just use eth0.. here's a sample section built on a sled10-sp1 host.. the networking section is done on the fly in a pre.sh script in my setup in order to set the right initial addresses/names: <interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth0</device> <ipaddr>10.46.16.35</ipaddr> <netmask>255.255.254.0</netmask> <startmode>auto</startmode> <usercontrol>no</usercontrol> </interface> </interfaces>
