Subject: [ovirt-users] Network issues with oVirt 4.2 and cloud-init<br>
<br>
<br>
We're using cloud-init to customize VMs built from a template. We're<br>
using static IPV4 settings so we're specifying an IP address, subnet<br>
mask, and gateway. There is apparently a bug in the current version of<br>
cloud-init shipping as part of CentOS 7.4<br>
(<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1492726" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1492726</a>) that fails to set<br>
the gateway properly. In the description of the bug, it says it is<br>
fixed in RHEL 7.5 but also says one can use<br>
<a href="https://people.redhat.com/rmccabe/cloud-init/cloud-init-0.7.9-20.el7.x86_64.rpm" target="_blank">https://people.redhat.com/rmccabe/cloud-init/cloud-init-0.7.9-20.el7.x86_64.rpm</a><br>
which is what we're doing.<br>
<br>
When the new VM first boots, the 3 IPv4 settings are all set correctly.<br>
Reboots of the VM maintain the settings properly. But, if the VM is<br>
shut down and started again via the oVirt GUI, all of the IPV4 settings<br>
on the eth0 virtual NIC are lost and<br>
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 shows that the NIC is now<br>
set up for DHCP.<br>
<br>
Are we doing something incorrectly?<br>
