The Virtual Guest Package (VGP) schema has been updated to support RunOnce commands for VMware Windows-based virtual machines created using a template or from existing virtual machines. The RunOnce commands you specify run after the guest operating system starts. The operating system starts in 'logged on' mode with Administrator credentials. If you do not want the virtual machine logged on automatically, then add a reboot command to the end of the RunOnce command list (for example, shutdown /r). Example. Here is an example from a sample VGP XML file. The following example adds a specified route in the local IP routing table: <RunOnceCommands> <Command> route -p add 192.168.1.13 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1</Command> </RunOnceCommands> | ||||||||||
This command changes the power status of a virtual guest. For version 8.2 SP1, two additional options have been added to the powerStatus variable for the IBM platform: GuestShutdown and GuestReboot. | ||||||||||
There have been changes to the way you provision an AIX system. New system package field Version 8.2 SP1 adds the following new field to the system package you use to provision an AIX system: IP_ADDRESS. Overriding system package values in target.csv file Version 8.2 SP1 also adds support for overriding AIX system package values, using the target.csv file. The possible entries in the target.csv file remain the same as in previous releases: MAC_ADDRESS,COMPUTER_NAME,OM_SERVER_NAME,IP_ADDRESS, SUBNET_MASK,DEFAULT_GATEWAY,OS_LICENSE,NIM_CLIENT_NAME You can populate the target.csv file with the following values, and the target.csv values will override corresponding values in the AIX system package: IP_ADDRESS - This is the target client LPAR IP address (new field in the AIX system package). SUBNET_MASK - This is the client LPAR subnet mask. In previous releases, you could not use the target.csv file to override this value. DEFAULT_GATEWAY - This is the client LPAR default gateway. In previous releases, you could not use the target.csv file to override this value. | ||||||||||
