Hi All,

I was doing google to see if i can set Hostname,Password & IP details
for Windows server from RHEV-M. I got to know that we can create VM
Payload & send that to Windows VM (installed with Cloud-init)

Refer this link
http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-init-for-windows-instances/#comment-9411

Cloud-init expects Meta-data & User-Data file to be sent either via
Config Drive or via HTTP. I'm trying to achive this via ConfigDrive
(created using VM Payload).

note you can also just pass the full sysprep file as a payload yourself via the API, and set all these items in it.

But i'm wondering what should be the format of this two files (Meta-data
& User-data). Have any1  tried this? If yes, would request to share
sample for both the files with setting Hostname, Password & IP details.

just launch a linux VM and check the file we create?

Java code:

   org.ovirt.engine.sdk.decorators.VM vm1 =  api.getVMs().get(vmName);
               Payloads payloads = new Payloads();
               Payload payload = new Payload();
               payload.setType("cdrom");

               Files payloadFiles = new Files();
               File payloadFile = new File();
               payloadFile.setName("meta-data.txt");
               payloadFile.setContent("hostname:"+vmName);
               payloadFiles.getFiles().add(payloadFile);
               payload.setFiles(payloadFiles);
               vm1.setPayloads(payloads);
               Action action = new Action();
               vm1.start(action);
