Hello all,

I am using eucalyptus 1.6.2 version installed on ubuntu OS.

Everything is working fine on my cloud and now as I am going to publish my cloud and want to provide VM's to users to use for their research work .

I want to provide VM's from single image to same user group but according to the user requirement we must have to provide them VM's in this a way that they get all VM's with different host names as per the requirement of their research module.

How could I configure my cloud to get host name dynamically(different host name on different VM's from single image).

waiting for any help.

Plz reply as soon as possible.

thanks

Hello,

I think I'm a bit confused by your question here. Every instance will have a different public IP address, which means that every instance will have a different external name (of course if you have a DNS which resolve those IP addresses into names). The internal name that the instances have, is somewhat irrelevant, since any root user can change it at runtime. If this is an issue, you could modify rc.local to create a random hostname for the instance, or query the DNS to get its hostname and set it.

Does it make sense to you?

cheers
