[ovirt-users] Re: Cloud-init reset network configuration to default dhcp after reboot and regular run
According to cloud-init 0.7.9 documentation cloud-init is configured
to run by default on each boot [1] and to render the user-selected
network configuration on first boot [2]. Also, in absence of a data
source to configure the network, it will fall back to configuring DHCP
on eth0 [2].
As you noted, if you run a VM once, and then in the next regular run
the cloud-init flag is not selected in the VM configuration in engine,
there is no data-source and cloud-init falls back to dhcp as
documented.
The 'marker' file you refer to are also documented as follows:
* disabling cloud-init altogether [1] with: touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled
* preventing cloud-init from configuring the network [2] with: echo
‘network: {config: disabled}‘ >> /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
whichever scenario is used to run a VM, this can be accomplished by
adding the above commands to the custom_script that cloud-init runs at
the last stage of its operation [3].
There is possibly a third 'hack' that would not require any marker file:
* assign your static IP to a NIC not named 'eth0'
I have not tested it myself but it looks like a corollary of [2]
