The disk image needs to have a linux installed inside. You can do that  
using xen-tools commands, creating a new image and populating it with  
some working linux installation or downloading an already prepared  
image from internet. OpenNebula does not install the operating system  
into images.

You can preconfigure the OS image with a fixed IP or you can use a  
DHCP server. For DHCP you can follow instructions described at:
