I'm looking for a way to configure the guest networking(including IP) dynamically, using a custom script, right after VM creation. Is there a similar feature in oVirt as the Invoke-VMScript in of VMware's PowerCLI? It allows you to run a script in the guest OS, even before the guest has networking connectivity ( the host talks to the vmtools agent that's installed in the guest).

Native KVM/libvirt option will be good as well.

Thanks, Shlomi Invoke-VMScript reference: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/windowstoolkit/wintk40u1/html/Inv... _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi Itamar In the Wiki I see references on attaching floppy/iso as a payload. Is it possible to trigger a bash script (with parameters), for example, inside the guest using this mechanism? If so, can you please point me to some documentation?

It allows you to run a script in the guest OS, even before the guest has networking connectivity ( the host talks to the vmtools agent that's installed in the guest). currently, you can attach to the guest a "payload", and have a script in the guest expecting that payload and acting on it (which is what cloud-init does). Native KVM/libvirt option will be good as well. if kvm/libvirt allow it, you can use a custom vdsm hook as well.
