How to get the IP address of Virtual Machines
 

We have several virtual guests running. Is there a way to
get the guests virtual machines ip addresses ?


We build the virtual machine using virt-install. *We
are using DHCP for the temporary ip addresses.


After the machines is built, *we currently use the
virt-manager to open a console, do an ifconfig eth0 to get the machines ip
address, is there an easier way to do this. Hopefully from the Dom 0 logon
session.


Currently running RHEL 5.3 os, the virtual machines are
various version of Redhat and Fedora, Centos etc.


*


Thanks in Advance,

You can try checking out the virt-mem suite:

There's a tool 'virt-ifconfig' that can be run on the host, and can show
a VM's net config. This stuff doesn't come in RHEL, so you'll have to
build it yourself.
