Dear Ward,<div><br></div><div>The method you are using to create the image is indeed the preferred one. After creating the image, you will need to contextualize it using the CONTEXT [1] section of the VM template so the virtual machine gets its IP address set at boot time.</div>

What is the preferred method of creating images (.img files) suitable<br>
for opennebula deployment? I need vanilla CentOS 5.2. I've tried using<br>
the .img that virt-install creates. It deployed fine but I couldn't<br>
reach it via ssh or telnet, in fact I couldn't even ping it.<br>
<br>
Thanks ... WkH<br>
