I am a student and i have a project that needs me to use opennebula i installed everything and now i am in the sunstone where i am trying to make VMs the problem is that they are staying pending permanently and they doesn’t get host. I made the template for the VMs using Ubuntu18.04 iso and i made the network template using bridged network.

Maybe you don’t have hosts yet ??? You can always manually deploy a VM by selecting a host from the list

Check the hosts you have in the environment. The frontend is failing to transfer the VM disk to the host cause it cannot resolve its hostname. Make sure the frontend can passwordlessly ssh into the hosts. Carefully read [this](http://docs.opennebula.org/5.10/deployment/node_installation/kvm_node_installation.html#step-4-configure-passwordless-ssh)
