[ovirt-users] VM autoconfiguration

[J. Mikulec]

I spent a day with testing and went into two situations:
- cloud-init set up everything except root password
- cloud-init set up everything except network

What does it mean? Let me explain:

When I remove HWADDR from ifcfg-eth0 in template, everything works 
(network, ssh with key), but can't login through console or ssh with 
password. So I think it is not set.

When I forgot to remove HWADDR line, root password is set but network 
not work ofcourse. I added custom command with runcmd to remove this 
line and restart network - everything works. Stupid hack ...

So root password cloud-init setting depends on network settings. Is this 
cloud-init bug?
