Andrew - 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. Regards, Oved

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 pass arbitrary data/config to the VM

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.

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>
That's a read only property that shows the IP address of the virtual machine reported by the in-guest agent.
There's discussion going on about how we pass a payload to a VM that can handle things like in-guest configuration
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/VMPayload
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
