PS: installed cloud-init version from epel is 0.6.3-0.12.bzr532 Is this to old? If the answer is yes, is there any chance of getting a newer version in epel? Maybe utilizing this build-script: https://github.com/jamiesonbecker/cloudinit-rhel/blob/master/cloud-init-build.sh addtional debugging revealed, that ovirt pushes the metadata via a cdrom-device.
here is the virsh dumpxml:
..
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/run/vdsm/payload/00977c31-2076-4b38-bdbc-5066ca1f3c89.da80bf145a28800bec9293d23b4bac8b.img' startupPolicy='optional'/>
<target dev='hdd' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<serial></serial>
<boot order='2'/>
<alias name='ide0-1-1'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='1'/>
</disk>
..
but cloud-init supports cdrom-based data-sources just since version 0.7.2:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1100545
So I guess it should work with 0.7.2.
I will try to build or get the appropriate rpm and report back.
Well we tried to build cloud-init from source following this buildscript for rhel: https://github.com/jamiesonbecker/cloudinit-rhel/blob/master/cloud-init-build.sh after several tweaks to it we have given up so far, as we are in package dependency hell. cloud-init 0.7.4. requires pyhton-jsonpatch and pyserial, both not available via rpm, but the buildscripts requires them as rpm packages, so it isn't satisfied with installation through pip.. So if upstream could build a new cloud-init version for epel or any rpm or backport the ability to open cd-rom as data-source this would be great. So far this feature can't work with this version of cloud-init. 0.7.2 slated to be in 6.5 So this feature will not work in any RHEL based distro ≤ 6.5 ? That are not very good news for provisioning RHEL based distros. have you tried building 0.7.2 rather than 0.7.4? I have not tried it, but will, maybe tomorrow. I have no time atm to test the manual build of 0.7.2. on CentOS 6.4 What does it mean, if you say this will be fixed in 3.3.2? For the CD-ROM it's not a matter of ovirt, but of the cloud-init version inside the vm, so do you plan to backport / release appropriate versions for Enterprise Linux < 6.5 ? Or do you just advise to upgrade to RHEL/CentOS 6.5 (which is not always possible)? Or do you switch the method, how you pass the data to the vm? If the latter is the case, are there any links to code changes? ATM I'm writing a helper script to take the metadata, parse it, and make some changes to the vm, so if you change how data gets passed to the vm, you should make this as transparent as possible, because you may have users who rely on the current mechanism. Maybe this should be discussed on the Users ML or via IRC? Is this solved by fix introduced for bug 1039009 ? Or is this fixed by upgrading CentOS / RHEL to 6.5? (In reply to Sandro Bonazzola from comment #9) > Is this solved by fix introduced for bug 1039009 ? > Or is this fixed by upgrading CentOS / RHEL to 6.5? upgrade is needed, or somehow get cloud-init 0.7.2 built on older versions, which im not sure is possible or not Sven - is this still an issue with these rpms released for .el6 now? If this works in 6.5 this is fixed for me, but I did not test it yet if it works in CentOS 6.5. Removing from 3.3.2 blockers, closing as cantfix as discussed in http://resources.ovirt.org/meetings/ovirt/2013/ovirt.2013-12-11-15.01.log.html EL >= 6.5 or cloud-init >= 0.7.2 are needed for having this working. |
