with before_vm_start you should be able to modify the cloudinit configuration. I guess there is a misunderstanding. I thought that:- you know the name of the future VM- you want to change the hostname via cloudinit Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Fri, Jan 14, 2022 at 10:45, Luca Contessa<ifdevurandom@gmail.com> wrote: Hi, sorry for the late response, can you expand a bit more on what you said? in particular, if I understood correctly, you are suggesting I should launch a script to modify the name using oVirt's 'before_vm_start' hook? And also in which way can i get the VM name using this method?
