The datasource altcloud will be used to pick up user data on `RHEVm`_ and `vSphere`_.
RHEVm
~~~~~~
For `RHEVm`_ v3.0 the userdata is injected into the VM using floppy
injection via the `RHEVm`_ dashboard "Custom Properties".
The format of the Custom Properties entry must be:
::
floppyinject=user-data.txt:<base64 encoded data>
For example to pass a simple bash script:
::
% cat simple_script.bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello Joe!" >> /tmp/JJV_Joe_out.txt
% base64 < simple_script.bash
IyEvYmluL2Jhc2gKZWNobyAiSGVsbG8gSm9lISIgPj4gL3RtcC9KSlZfSm9lX291dC50eHQK
To pass this example script to cloud-init running in a `RHEVm`_ v3.0 VM
set the "Custom Properties" when creating the RHEMv v3.0 VM to:
::
floppyinject=user-data.txt:IyEvYmluL2Jhc2gKZWNobyAiSGVsbG8gSm9lISIgPj4gL3RtcC9KSlZfSm9lX291dC50eHQK
**NOTE:** The prefix with file name must be: ``floppyinject=user-data.txt:``
It is also possible to launch a `RHEVm`_ v3.0 VM and pass optional user
data to it using the Delta Cloud.
For more information on Delta Cloud see: http://deltacloud.apache.org
vSphere
~~~~~~~~
For VMWare's `vSphere`_ the userdata is injected into the VM as an ISO
via the cdrom. This can be done using the `vSphere`_ dashboard
by connecting an ISO image to the CD/DVD drive.
To pass this example script to cloud-init running in a `vSphere`_ VM
set the CD/DVD drive when creating the vSphere VM to point to an
ISO on the data store.
**Note:** The ISO must contain the user data.
For example, to pass the same ``simple_script.bash`` to vSphere:
Create the ISO
-----------------
::
% mkdir my-iso
NOTE: The file name on the ISO must be: ``user-data.txt``
::
% cp simple_scirpt.bash my-iso/user-data.txt
% genisoimage -o user-data.iso -r my-iso
Verify the ISO
-----------------
::
% sudo mkdir /media/vsphere_iso
% sudo mount -o loop JoeV_CI_02.iso /media/vsphere_iso
% cat /media/vsphere_iso/user-data.txt
% sudo umount /media/vsphere_iso
Then, launch the `vSphere`_ VM the ISO user-data.iso attached as a CDROM.
It is also possible to launch a `vSphere`_ VM and pass optional user
data to it using the Delta Cloud.
For more information on Delta Cloud see: http://deltacloud.apache.org
