Ok, thanks.
But only in %pre and %post ????
So this will NOT work?
%pre
ESXIP=`awk -F "ESXIP=" '{print $2}' /proc/cmdline | cut -d " " -f 1`
ESXVMOTION=`awk -F "ESXVMOTION=" '{print $2}' /proc/cmdline | cut -d " " -f 1`
# Network Configurations
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip $ESXIP --netmask 255.255.255.0
Or in other words.... is the network-line part of the %pre section????
