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.
Would you consider exposing it via rest service as well? similar to how amazon allows to consume user data? This would allow a more structured data, and less requirement on the guest it self.
yes, that's what the following sentence tries to hint at... "In the future also injection and payload via private IP"
