user-data via CDROM

Mon Dec 10 14:11:53 UTC 2012

Shahar,

Are you launching on EC2 or a different cloud backend?

If EC2, I am not sure, but I don't think you can set an VM's IP address
on EC2. So you might be encountering an EC2 issue.

It looks as if you are not using user-data alone but the yaml formated
meta-data, which user-data can be a part of, in a iso or vfat filesystem
with a known label.

The log below may be from one of your earlier runs, before you
started using genisoimage to pass in the meta-data. Does the lates
log file and shed any light on the IP address issue?

I'm not overly familiar with it but I know there is a utility in cloud-utils
called 'cloud-localds' [1] that creates a iso or vfat.  the --help
output will
give example usage, and you can  look at the created disk image.

If you are launching on Openstack it uses the data source:
"config-drive-v2",
which is an option for passing metadata to instances in OpenStack folsom
and later (doc added at [2])

[2] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/16504/

Hope this helps and let me know what the latest log file shows if you
need more help.

Joe
