</div></div>The "custom_script" element doesn't work in combination with cloud-init<br>
and run once. To make it work you have to use cloud-init and a file<br>
element containing your custom script. Here you have an example:<br>
<br>
#!/usr/bin/python<br>
<br>
import base64<br>
import re<br>
<br>
from ovirtsdk.api import API<br>
from ovirtsdk.xml import params<br>
<br>
# A simple function to encode using base64 and now new lines:<br>
def encode(s):<br>
return re.sub("\s+", "", base64.encodestring(s))<br>
<br>
# Connect to the server:<br>
api = API(<br>
url="<a href="https://engine35.example.com/ovirt-engine/api" target="_blank">https://engine35.example.com/ovirt-engine/api</a>",<br>
username="admin@internal",<br>
password="redhat123",<br>
insecure=True,<br>
debug=True<br>
)<br>
<br>
# Find the virtual machine:<br>
myvm = api.vms.get(name="myvm")<br>
<br>
# Prepare the cloud-init custom script to write files:<br>
myscript = """\<br>
write_files:<br>
"""<br>
<br>
# Append one file:<br>
myscript += """\<br>
- encoding: b64<br>
content: %s<br>
owner: root:root<br>
path: /etc/firstfile.txt<br>
permissions: '0644'<br>
""" % encode("The content of the first file")<br>
<br>
# Append another file:<br>
myscript += """\<br>
- encoding: b64<br>
content: %s<br>
owner: root:root<br>
path: /etc/secondfile.txt<br>
permissions: '0644'<br>
""" % encode("The content of the second file")<br>
<br>
# Prepare the action to trigger initialization using cloud-init:<br>
action = params.Action(<br>
vm=params.VM(<br>
initialization=params.Initialization(<br>
cloud_init=params.CloudInit(<br>
files=params.Files(<br>
file=[<br>
params.File(<br>
name="myscript",<br>
type_="plaintext",<br>
content=myscript<br>
)<br>
]<br>
)<br>
)<br>
)<br>
)<br>
)<br>
<br>
# Start the virtual machine:<br>
myvm.start(action)<br>
<br>
# Disconnect from the server:<br>
api.disconnect()<br>
<br>
Regarding the problem with the root password we have a bug in 3.5 that<br>
makes this fail. See here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1156155" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1156155</a><br>
<br>
The problem is that we are not passing the user name to cloud-init, and<br>
as a result it is changing the default cloud-init user password, not the<br>
root pssword. To workaround the issue you can edit the<br>
"/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg" file of the VM and change the default user name:<br>
<br>
system_info:<br>
distro: ...<br>
default_user:<br>
name: root <-- Change this from "fedora" or "cloud-init" to root<br>
