Hi Carlo, Ideally, the guest IPs served by external DHCP would be fetched by the management server via hypervisor, I haven’t used it with KVM recently.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=53740797 Getting DHCP IP from the VM by CS 1. Retrieve the IP from the Vm and update in the CS DB. a. VmWare With the help of vmware tools, Vm IP will be read from the information by the hypervisor Note: Required vmware tools needs to be installed in Vm. b. XenServer Retrieve the VM IP from XenServer using the below command by passing the VM name. #xe vm-list name-label=<vmname> params=networks The output is parsed to get the vm ip address. Note: Windows VM requires PV drivers to be installed to get the VM IP. c. KVM Use the guestfish command in KVM host to read the VM dhcp lease and parse it get the VM IP address. #guestfish --ro -i -d i-2-21-VM download /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases - Note: Reading IP using guestfish command works for only Linux guest VMs. -Jithin From: Carlo Fernandez <cfernan...@alatar.co> Date: Thursday, 16 November 2023 at 9:52 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: IP Address Not Showing On UI Hi folks, I got CloudStack up and running on a few KVM hosts and everything is working as expected, except for one thing. Since the IP addresses for guest VMs are assigned by an external DHCP server, the IP addresses assigned won’t show up in the UI. Is there any way to get these to show up? Any script or anything that I can add to my images? Currently, users have to log in via the console to see the IP address so that they can SSH into their VMs. I appreciate any help you can provide!
