Hi Ian, What version of cloud-init are you using? The default one that comes with ubuntu 12.04 has a bug that causes is not to work on Cloudstack (uses gateway instead of dhcp server as metadata server).
I did something similar to convert the cloud images from ubuntu into a XenServer image and have a patch for DataSourceCloudStack in cloud-init here: https://github.com/creategui/CloudStackImageScripts/blob/master/DataSourceCloudStack.patch cheers, -Carlos On Jun 23, 2014, at 1:17 PM, Ian Duffy <i...@ianduffy.ie> wrote: > Lucian, > > You were spot on.
