Externally Configuring a Virtual Machine
You can initially configure your virtual machines externally without connecting to the
virtual machine console by using Oracle VM Guest Additions by passing key-value
pairs to the virtual machine.
Use the
oakcli modify vm -s
command to pass parameters to the virtual machine:
# oakcli modify vm vmname -s 'key1:value1;key2:value2...'
The following example has two value pairs:
oakcli modify vm vmo16u3 -s 'com.oracle.linux.network.device.
0:eth0;com.oracle.linux.network.ipaddr.0:192.1.2.18'
