Dan, You need to make sure you have prepared the VM you used to make the template correctly.
There are some instructions in the docs. http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/4.4/templates.html Search for the section titled System preparation for Linux Regards Geoff Higginbottom CTO / Cloud Architect D: +44 20 3603 0542<tel:+442036030542> | S: +44 20 3603 0540<tel:+442036030540> | M: +447968161581<tel:+447968161581> geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com<mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com> | www.shapeblue.com<htp://www.shapeblue.com/> | Twitter:@cloudstackguru<https://twitter.com/#!/cloudstackguru> ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS<x-apple-data-detectors://5> On 22 Jan 2015, at 23:09, Somesh Naidu <somesh.na...@citrix.com<mailto:somesh.na...@citrix.com>> wrote: What guest is that?

Hi, I found that when I create new instances from template of my own( a centos OS), the IP address and hostname are not set to the VM automatically, you have to login to the VM from the UI and set them manually, then a restart will get them take effect. Does anybody else observe the same issue?
