[xen-tools-discuss] Accessing VM configuration parameters in hooks

[Tamas Gal]

Dear all,

I am using xen and xen-tools to automatise the VM creation which works fine including the copying of some custom configuration files to the newly created VMs.
I need however some other things to setup on dom0, for example the rsnapshot configuration, which needs an entry of each newly created VM.

I looked at the hooks but they only provide the `prefix` as input parameter, but I need the hostname to do something like

echo "backup lvm://vg0/${VM_HOSTNAME}/  ${VM_HOSTNAME}/" >> /etc/rsnapshot.conf

to activate the backup on dom0.

What is the common way to do things like this? Or do I need to modify the original xen-create-image script manually, where I have access to all the VM parameters?

Best,
Tom
