Virtual Machine Pools- How to configure-use
What is the best practice used to assign ip numbers to a pool of virtual machines?
I prepared a template to be used as the base for a vm pool. I assigned 2 vm's to the pool. I had to configure by hand the first time they booted as to what keyboard, ip number, dns router info they needed.
How can these be 'throwaway images' if I have to do that?
Thanks in advance.

For EL6 virtual desktops, you can make the following changes to the sealing instructions:
1) Skip the "touch /.unconfigured" step.
2) Remove the HOSTNAME line from /etc/sysconfig/network.
After creating the pool of VMs from the template:
1) Assign a consistent MAC address in RHEV-M to each pool-member VM. It is best if the MAC address is outside of the auto-allocated MacPoolRanges.
2) Configure IP networking for the pool-member VMs by using a DHCP service.
