[Bug 397528] New: kiwi: allow VMware network configuration to be addressed in config.xml
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397528 Summary: kiwi: allow VMware network configuration to be addressed in config.xml Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: System Imaging AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: ms@novell.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: --- **** initial comment German only **** Hi Marcus, aktuell schreiben wir für die .vmx Files per Default bei den Netzwerkkarten den typ "vmxnet" rein. Der tut leider nur, wenn man auch VMware Tools installiert hat. Mein Wunsch wäre es, den vmxnet Typ konfigurierbar zu machen :) Details zu dem Thema: http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network.html "Bridged" to an automatically assigned physical nic WARNING: this is unreliable on hosts with more than one physical nic. ethernet0.present= "true" ethernet0.startConnected = "true" ethernet0.virtualDev = "vlance" ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged" This settings enable an AMD PCnet32 network-card. Most older OS have drivers for this nic. ethernet0.present= "true" ethernet0.startConnected = "true" ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet" ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged" This settings enable an AMD PCnet32 network-card. Most older OS have drivers for this nic. ethernet0.present= "true" ethernet0.startConnected = "true" ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet" ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged" This settings enable an VMXnet network-card. You can only use this nic if you install the VMware-tools inside the guest. ethernet0.present= "true" ethernet0.startConnected = "true" ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged" This settings enable an Intel E1000 network-card. Modern OS should have drivers for this nic. NOTE: VMware usually assigns this nic to 64bit-guests - but it also works with 32-bit guests Weitere Infos zu VMX Optionen: http://sanbarrow.com/vmx.html Interessant ist auch http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-guestos.html -- wie immer, gibt es für 32 und 64 bit verschiedene Optionen :) Vielleicht lässt sich eine generelle VMX Config Option in KIWI integrieren? Gleich mit 32 vs. 64 Bit Unterscheidung ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The new definition uses a single section for VMware and a single section for Xen. Here is an example: <vmwareconfig memory="512" arch=%arch> <vmwaredisk controller="ide" id="0"/> <vmwarenic driver="e1000" interface="0" mode="bridged" /> </vmwareconfig> and for Xen <xenconfig memory="512"> <xendisk device="/dev/sda"/> </xenconfig> - I'm sure there are still some parts missing but with the new sections it's easier to implement the missing parts - For VMware there is also the %arch macro available which automatically applies the correct values, even though I don't know all arch specific options we can add them if required I'm still writing a xsl conversion template because the change is incompatible to the current 2.0 XML schema.... stay tuned I need some help from Thomas Schraitle ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
