It needs updating, but is mostly correct. The last part where you run create-vm-from-pxe.sh, needs to be expanded, because it can't be used in 221 - pxe boot was broken on that network the last time I tried. Also, the vg is hardcoded in it, it should be taken as an option, or it should try to autodetect the vg used by the vms on the machine. Normally I create the machine in 240 and dd the image over the network onto the target machine. ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055 ----- Original Message -----
