sending to the server:

<action>
  <vm>
    <initialization>
      <cloud_init>
        <host>
          <address>myvm</address>
        </host>
        <users>
          <user>
            <user_name>root</user_name>
            <password>cJql3P9XLQG4drCYVG/6Q/</password>
          </user>
        </users>
      </cloud_init>
    </initialization>
  </vm>
</action>

That is correct. I just tested it in my environment and it works well,
and it assigns the host name and root password to the machine.

To check if cloud-init is working correctly you will have to check if
has a CDROM attached as expected. Remember that we dynamically generate
an ISO file and connect it to the VM as a CDROM. The cloud-init scripts
take the information from that CDROM. To verify that this is working
start the VM (manually or using the Java SDK) and then login to the
hypervisor and check what arguments have been passed to the qemu-kvm
process corresponding to that VM:

# ps -ef | grep 'qemu-kvm -name myvm'

That should give a very long command line. Look for an option like the
following:

-drive
file=/var/run/vdsm/payload/c46bf225-4e58-48b8-bfac-112351b00619.34ac58704f7df0efab99cf4bd14a1696.img,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-1,readonly=on,format=raw,serial=

If you don't see an option similar to this one then the CDROM isn't
being attached to the VM correctly.

If you do see this option, then make a copy of the file, and inspect its
content. For example, I did this in my environment:

# cp
/var/run/vdsm/payload/c46bf225-4e58-48b8-bfac-112351b00619.34ac58704f7df0efab99cf4bd14a1696.img
/tmp/cloud-init.iso
# mount -o loop,ro /tmp/cloud-init.iso /mnt
# find /mnt
/mnt/
/mnt/openstack
/mnt/openstack/latest
/mnt/openstack/latest/meta_data.json
/mnt/openstack/latest/user_data
# cat /mnt/openstack/latest/meta_data.json
{
  "launch_index" : "0",
  "availability_zone" : "nova",
  "name" : "myvm",
  "hostname" : "myvm",
  "uuid" : "39cea046-e8ce-4e3d-bb9b-d2a449434066",
  "meta" : {
    "essential" : "false",
    "role" : "server",
    "dsmode" : "local"
  }
}
# cat /mnt/openstack/latest/user_data
#cloud-config
output:
  all: '>> /var/log/cloud-init-output.log'
user: root
password: cJql3P9XLQG4drCYVG
runcmd:
- 'sed -i ''/^datasource_list: /d'' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg; echo
''datasource_list:
  ["NoCloud", "ConfigDrive"]'' >> /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg'

Please report your results.
