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.

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
