Hi, I would like to use the userdata parameter of the deployVirtualMachine API Call. I have a couple questions about this: 1) Is it as simple as adding another GET parameter such as the following: userdata=mydata? >> Yes. Your data should be base64 encoded. 2) How can I retrieve this userdata field later from the OS running in the VM that was deployed earlier? >> This might help. >> http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.0-incubating/html/Admin_Guide/user-data-and-meta-data.html Thanks! -- *Mike Tutkowski* *Senior CloudStack Developer, SolidFire Inc.* e: mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com o: 303.746.7302 Advancing the way the world uses the cloud<http://solidfire.com/solution/overview/?video=play> *(tm)*
