To change the hostname you have to use the "address" property of the
"Host" class:

  host=params.Host(
      address="myhostname.example.com"
  )

The "Host" class is used for many things, including CloudInit and
hypervisors. But in this context it is just a container for the host name.

To debug cloud-init start the VM (with the GUI or with the RESTAPI),
then go to the hypervisor where it is actually running, and look for the
corresponding qemu-kvm process:

  # ps -ef | grep qemu-kvm | grep myvm

The qemu-kvm command line will have a parameter indicating the file that
contains the cloud-init data:

  -drive file=/var/run/vdsm/payload/...img

Copy that file somewhere, then mount it and inspect the content:

  # cp /var/run/vdsm/payload/...img /tmp/my.img
  # mount -o loop,ro /tmp/my.img /mnt
  # find /mnt
  ...
  # umount /mnt
