Hostname for VMs created from template
Hi everyone,
I noticed that for the default Centos 5.5 template that came with Cloudstack, the hostnames of VMs created using the template is the Display Name given to it during creation. However, VMs created from my own template (Centos 6.4) still uses the hostname that came with the template. Is it possible to have the hostname changed during the creation of a VM like the default template?
Thanks,
Wei

the default behavior for a dhcp client is to get its hostname via dhcp...
things to verify /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-*ifname*.leases (to see if the
dhcp server is passing the host-name) file as well as /etc/hostname and
/etc/hosts. Its possible they inherited these values from the vm the
template was created from... and would likely need to be sanitized and
re-template-ized :)
