CloudStack - KickStart
Greetings,
Just checking into possibly getting some direction of a PXE / Kickstart application for CloudStack to automatically install OS and setup networking / user / pass etc.

Citrix say it's ok to use DHCP on bonded interfaces. If you do this Citrix recommends "configuring the MAC address on the bond if you are using DHCP".

Specifically with CloudStack and XenServer is it ok to use DHCP on the XenServer when using bonded interfaces?

Maurice,
Our provisioning technique, uses DHCP to PXE boot the host, then a post-boot script downloads a CSV with host information tied to the MAC address of the primary interface in the host.
Static IPs, hostnames and any other host specific settings can be extracted from the csv and applied automatically.
Regards,
Paul Angus

Your dhcp server should handle hostname, ip info bit for you.

I am working on kickstart installation of hosts.I had installed ubuntu OS
and cloud-agent with dependencies with kickstart. Can we generate random
static ip address and host names to hosts so that as soon as the hosts are
restarted ,the hosts will be up and running

Are you looking to bootstrap a cloudstack environment or is this for guest vm's provisioning with pxe/kickstart?
