In your case you are interested in the "initialization-cloud_init" options: [oVirt shell (connected)]# action vm vm_name start <TAB><TAB> ... vm-initialization-cloud_init-authorized_keys-authorized_key vm-initialization-cloud_init-hostname vm-initialization-cloud_init-network-dns-search_domains-host vm-initialization-cloud_init-network-dns-servers-host vm-initialization-cloud_init-network-nics-nic vm-initialization-cloud_init-payload_files-payload_file vm-initialization-cloud_init-regenerate_ssh_keys vm-initialization-cloud_init-timezone vm-initialization-cloud_init-users-user ... You should then be able to use these options as follows: [oVirt shell (connected)]# action vm vm_name start --vm-initialization-cloud_init-hostname your_host_name However, I think there is a bug in this particular option, the hostname, that will prevent using it. The name should be "host", not "hostname". As this is probably the first thing you will need the net result is that you won't be able to use it currently. I'm investigating it and will let you know if there is a workaround.
