Customization of Generic item

[sebu1]

Hi, topic seems to be obvious however it’s not. I’m currently working on customization of virtual machine (RHV provider) with customization template based on cloud-init script.

I ve found similar topic for OpenStack, but way described there doesn’t work for me at all,

How can I get Customization Templates to work while using a Generic Service Catalog Item?

I’m trying to use a cloud-init script within the context of a Generic Service Catalog Item to set the root password for a VM. <% # Global variables root_password = MiqPassword.decrypt(evm[:"password::dialog_root_password"]) %> ssh_pwauth: True disable_root: False chpasswd: list: | root:<%=root_password%> expire: False When I associate a Customization Template with an OpenStack Service Catalog Item, the root password get populated as I expected. How can I achieve the same e…

I’ve even tried to hardcode customization template id but it doesn’t take an effect on provisioned machine.

Here’s snippet of redhat_CustomizeRequest method:
prov = $evm.root[“miq_provision”]
prov.set_option(:customization_template_id, [99000000000016, ‘simple’])

Can you please advise what’s missing here? Do I need to pass extra argument to make this work?

Heh, topic can be closed,

I’ve added following line in redhat_CustomizeRequest method:
prov.set_option(:sysprep_enabled, [“fields”, “Specification”])
and customization template has been applied… variable’s name ‘sysprep_enabled’ seems extremely weird to me in order to customize Linux based instances on RHV.

Bless,
