Hi,

I am using the ubuntu 14.04 image in the OpenNebula Marketplace for my vms. However I have observed that all the vms created with this image has the same hostname ubuntu. Is this the expected behavior or is there is a bug in the image?

Thanks & Regards
Paul

You should use context[1] to configure per VM hostname[2].

You can use a static value for SET_HOSTNAME or the name of the VM.

You may want to ask for user input[3].

Regards.
