Using local-hostname instead of hostname in user-data fixed the issue According cloud-init doc, https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/nocloud.html for NoCloud data source, the permitted key is h or local-hostname. so using local-hostname instead of hostname in user-data fixed the issue. Close this bug as NOTABUG. The issue you’re describing with cloud-init not setting the hostname properly on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 KVM Guest Image is a known problem. The bug report indicates that the status is CLOSED NOTABUG, which typically means that the behavior experienced is not considered a bug by the developers or it could not be reproduced. The version of cloud-init you’re using (0.7.9-24.el7.x86_64) might have known issues with setting the hostname. Check if there’s an updated version available and consider updating it. Make sure that the user-data and meta-data files are correctly configured. The meta-data file should contain a line like hostname: desired-hostname to set the hostname. The logs you’ve provided indicate that cloud-init is running its modules. Look for any errors or warnings in the logs that might point to why the hostname isn’t being set. If cloud-init fails to set the hostname, you can manually set it by editing the /etc/hostname file and then running hostnamectl set-hostname desired-hostname. Remember to replace desired-hostname with the actual hostname you want to set for your virtual machine. |
Description of problem: The hostname of the rhel-server-7.5-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 guest image is not set properly by cloud-init when using NoCloud cloud-init data source. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.5 (Maipo) cloud-init-0.7.9-24.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Consisently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 KVM Guest Image 2. Create cloud-init files (user-data, meta-data) 3. Create cidata.iso from user-data/meta-data 4. Create KVM guest from rhel-server-7.5-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 and cidata.iso 5. Log in and check hostname Actual results: Virtual machine has hostname localhost Expected results: Virtual machine has hostname set in meta-data Additional info: cloud-init install logs [ 14.225839] cloud-init[557]: Cloud-init v. 0.7.9 running 'init-local' at Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:24:03 +0000.
