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
