Hi all,

We need to start a number of VMs based on the same one (argument -unique passed to qmrestore).

Is it possible to start a cloned VMs without networking (to avoid ip conflict)? For now I need to delete the NIC, edit network configuration files, then recreate NIC. Can we hope an "active" check box somewhere in the NIX definition box?

Thanks,

Christophe.

The work-around I use is to create my "master" setup with dhcp enabled with a hostname of "master", then after restore I just change the hostname and setup my networking properly. I hope this is helpful. :)
