Dear Sergei, Answering your questions:
- Can I specify a DVPortGroup for the VM? Currently all VMs inherit it from a vMware template? Yes, although you need a vOneCloud based on the newest OpenNebula 4.10.2. This vOneCloud is going to be available in a few days. In this new version, DVPortGroups can be imported automatically from vCenter, or created manually: http://docs.opennebula.org/4.10/administration/virtualization/vcenterg.html#virtual-network-definition. - Can I have VM name the same as a host name I supply instead of 'one-###' (I am using vOneCloud, not sure if it is a settable parameter) Currently this is not possible, this is a feature that has high priority in our roadmap: http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/3468 - Can I, before creating a VM, call my own script and populate context for the VM with the data from this script? One way of achieving this would be through the Hook mechanism (http://docs.opennebula.org/4.10/integration/infrastructure_integration/hooks.html). For instance, a hook can be attached to the CREATED state of the VM, so a script will be triggered to retrieve whatever desired information and update the template of the VM to add the information to the CONTEXT section.
