Hi everyone,
i am using the vmanager's 3.0 Rest API.
have created a VM from an existing template (using http POST) and been
trying to find a way to set the VMs ip address
with no success. I tried supplying the ip address in the <guest_info>
element during VM creation as in:
<guest_info>
<ips>
<ip address="x.x.x.x"/>
</ips>
</guest_info>
But the created VM ends up with the same ip address as that in the
template.
Anyone attempted to do something similar ? Is there another way of doing
it. I tried the nics API but there seem to be no interface
to modify a nic's ip address.
Thank you.
Regards,
Messaoud Benantar

That's a read only property that shows the IP address of the virtual machine reported

Andrew -- thanks for the reply.
Since <guest_info> of a <vm> is not modifiable, is there a way to set a
VM's IP address.
This seems like a really needed functionality when provisioning VMs
through the Rest API.

Not today, the guest would usually just pickup from DHCP
But that's the purpose of the VMPayload feature that's being discussed - a way to

Unfortunately in our case we assign ip-addresses from a static
pool.
So i understand the VMPayload feature will include setting up <gues_info>
ip-address, right?
Sorry that i have not read any info regarding this functionality -- when
will it be available? Thanks.

Details on the VMPayload feature can be found in
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/VMPayload
Basically, the purpose of the feature is to allow passing a payload to a guest upon
startup, exposed as either a CD or Floppy device.
So, you can use this in order to pass configuration information to the guest.

Details on the VMPayload feature can be found in
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/VMPayload
Basically, the purpose of the feature is to allow passing a payload to a guest upon
startup, exposed as either a CD or Floppy device.
So, you can use this in order to pass configuration information to the guest.
Would you consider exposing it via rest service as well? similar to
how amazon allows to consume user data?
This would allow a more structured data, and less requirement on the
guest it self.
thanks,
Ohad

yes, that's what the following sentence tries to hint at... "In the
future also injection and payload via private IP"
