The part that was missing, I had to deploy instance via API calls and specify the keypair.
Also, from what I am seeing in API docs for 3.0.x - there is really no way to change the key after it was deployed. With that in mind, I have two questions I would truly appreciate if you can help answering. 1) In mysql, when you do assign ssh keypair to a vm via API calls, what field/table gets updated? For example, I can see there is a table ssh_keypairs - but I cant figure out where the relationship of VM to Keypair is set in mysql. 2) Do we have API docs for ACS 4 posted somewhere? I may have to look into extending GUI and adding ability to pick ssh_keypairs during instance deployment. If I do make headway in that, I will post code - unless its already in the works. As always, thank you for your feedback, Regards ilya -----Original Message----- From: Harikrishna Patnala [mailto:harikrishna.patn...@citrix.com] Sent: Friday, October 12, 2012 1:26 AM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: SSH keys and linux VMs on CS 3.0.3 + doc mistake/bug did you check the api call while deploying your VM? To associate ssh key to your VM, you need to provide the ssh keypair name (that you have already created) while deploying the VM. -----Original Message----- From: Musayev, Ilya [mailto:imusa...@webmd.net] Sent: 12 October 2012 09:28 To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: SSH keys and linux VMs on CS 3.0.3 + doc mistake/bug > I created an ssh key via API call and installed the cloud-ssh script on the > linux vm.
