[ovirt-users] cloud-init options under python-sdk

[Amedeo Salvati]

hello Juan|guys,

I still have problems with cloud-init options on python-sdk... now I'm trying to reset root password and according to xml available at http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cloud-Init_Integration and specifically for user/pw:

...
<users>
  <user>
    <user_name>root</user_name>
    <password>myPass</password>
  </user>
</users>
...

I've changed action object with this example:

action = params.Action(
                        vm=params.VM(
                            initialization=params.Initialization(
                                cloud_init=params.CloudInit(
                                    host=params.Host(address="rheltest025"),
                                    users=params.Users(
                                        user=params.User(user_name="root", password="pippo")
                                        )
                                    )
                                )
                            )
                        )

but when i try to start a vm I got this error: "TypeError: 'User' object is not iterable"

somebody has some hints for resetting root password?

Best regards
Amedeo Salvati
