1:30 p.m.
Hi All!
I'm trying to configure network in VMs created from template, and see
strange behaviour from cloud-init.
cloud-init installed and enabled in template.
ver cloud-init-0.7.9-24.el7.centos.1.x86_64
guest Centos 7.5
ovirt 4.2.7 from ovirt-releases-42-pre repo
1. I use "run once" with initial run - use cloud-init - networks
in-guest net iface : eth0
add new - static
enter address, mask, gw
ipv6 none
Run (once) and cloud-init configure ifcfg-eth0 for that address
(successfully).
2. I shutdown that VM and use "Run" (regular) without "use cloud init"
in VM properties, awaiting that above configurations are saved (and
booted with it).
But because "use cloud init" not checked, and cloud-init service
enabled, it start, cannot find datasource and drop configuration to
default (dhcp).
In cloud-init.log
2018-11-20 13:53:24,153 - util.py[WARNING]: No instance datasource
found! Likely bad things to come!
2018-11-20 13:53:24,153 - util.py[DEBUG]: No instance datasource found!

New subject: 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]

My setup is not in cloud, it's local and use static IP adresses for VM.

Either that or add custom script to disable just cloud-init network
re-config as you did manually.
Please consult the documentation for the custom script syntax and format
(e.g. search for 'runcmd' in
https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/0.7.9/topics/examples.html)
Then I "Run once" a VM, stop it, and run as usual without
data source
and fallback.
Or I name network interface not "eth0" and therefore without need for

I did not test the outcome of assigning the static IP to another NIC.

New subject: Cloud-init reset network configuration to default dhcp after reboot and regular run
After further investigation I would like to share one more important piece
of information that explains the "reset" behaviour of the network
configuration:
When a VM is started in 'Run once' mode, the initialization parameters
supplied for that run are always passed by engine to cloud-init in the
guest for application.
But if a VM is started in 'Run' mode, the initialization parameters are
passed to cloud-init on the guest only if this is the first run (be it
'Run' or 'Run once'). On every consecutive run in 'Run' mode no
parameters
are passed to the guest, and therefore (as I quoted from the cloud-init
documentation earlier in this thread) cloud-init falls back to DHCP
configuration on the guest.
This is not an overlooked occurrence on engine's behalf but rather the
designated behaviour.
When this behaviour was introduced into engine the reasoning was that after
the initial configuration of the VM, there is no reason to resend the
configuration on every 'Run' but only on 'Run once'. That's because
'Run
once' may be used for out-of the ordinary instantiations of the VM.
Due to the behaviour of the current cloud-init package, this causes an
unexpected side effect that should be dealt with by disabling cloud-init in
one of the methods I described earlier in this thread.

New subject: Cloud-init reset network configuration to default dhcp after reboot and regular run
05.12.2018 13:04, Eitan Raviv пишет:
After further investigation I would like to share one more important
piece of information that explains the "reset" behaviour of the network
configuration:
Thanks for that detailed clarification.
When a VM is started in 'Run once' mode, the initialization
parameters
supplied for that run are always passed by engine to cloud-init in the
guest for application.
It's clear and work as intended.
But if a VM is started in 'Run' mode, the initialization
parameters are
passed to cloud-init on the guest only if this is the first run (be it
'Run' or 'Run once'). On every consecutive run in 'Run' mode no
parameters are passed to the guest, and therefore (as I quoted from the
cloud-init documentation earlier in this thread) cloud-init falls back
to DHCP configuration on the guest.
When this behaviour was introduced into engine the reasoning was that
after the initial configuration of the VM, there is no reason to resend
the configuration on every 'Run' but only on 'Run once'.
Yes, there is no reason, but for new user it looks very confusing:
- create VM
- configure cloud-init parameters (like IP addr)
- Run VM (not once), parameters applied (all OK? as it seems)
- work with/in VM
- Stop VM (maybe after period of time when VM counts as 'configured
successfully') for some maintetance
- Run VM and try to access it (it is 'configured successfully' some
time ago, isn't it?)
- NO ACCESS to VM and configurаtion is LOST
- try to access via console with 'WTF?' exclamation ....
Why cloud-init in this scenario after successful configuration is not
turn off/disable himself (by touch that file, for example) ?
Instead of it cloud-init+ovirt force user to:
- try to figure why configuration is lost, learn "custom script" format
- write "custom script" for touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled and
reboot
- run once VM to apply parameters
- run VM as usual ?
Due to the behaviour of the current cloud-init package, this causes
an
unexpected side effect that should be dealt with by disabling cloud-init
in one of the methods I described earlier in this thread.
Are there use cases when cloud-init (as a service) may require to start
repeatedly on consecutive usual VM runs?
If will need to change parameters user may use "Run Once" start with new
parameters - in this case a 'disabled' file may be ignored.
But what reason to finding a configuration while usual run at all?

Either that or add custom script to disable just cloud-init network
re-config as you did manually.
Please consult the documentation for the custom script syntax and format
(e.g. search for 'runcmd' in
https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/0.7.9/topics/examples.html)

I did not test the outcome of assigning the static IP to another NIC.

New subject: Cloud-init reset network configuration to default dhcp after reboot and regular run
We will consider changing the behaviour. This is indeed not intuitive.
