==Cloning a virtual SME Server==
 +
When you clone a virtual SME server, you might want to reset some unique variables on the cloned machine. Several things (will) have changed like install date and MAC addresses. Visualization platforms will automatically change the MAC addresses of the NIC's for the cloned machine.
 +
 +
After cloning and first boot, log in as root and issue the following commands
 +
config delprop sysconfig SystemID
 +
config setprop sysconfig InstallEpoch `date +%s`
 +
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
 +
Then run the console application and reconfigure the server to your wishes, where you '''must''' perform a signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot for all changes to take effect.

{{Note box|You still cannot set a different gateway IP in the console configuration due to subnet checking.}}

After setup you can run:
 +
 +
config set GatewayIP 62.210.0.1

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/update-ifcfg

signal-event post-upgrade;signal-event reboot

=== SME V9 Configuration ===
 +
 +
Things have changed slightly for v9
 +
 +
Use the same db settings and templates as for v8.
 +
 +
You can make one small change to the template. Replace :
 +
 +
  my $gw = $ExternalInterface{'Gateway'};
 +
 +
With
 +
 +
  my $gw = $GatewayIP;
 +
 +
 +
To update the config files you now need to run :
 +
 +
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/update-ifcfg
 +
signal-event post-upgrade;signal-event reboot
 +
 +
Note that you will not see MAC addresses in the Internal Interface settings as you did in v8
