Hi Pearl, I will test this when I upgrade to 4.18.x I'm waiting for 4.18.1.
Thank you, Cristian -----Original Message----- From: Pearl d'Silva <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 4, 2023 4:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: set display_name as hostname to instances Hi Cristian, In addition, in 4.18 a new feature - managed User data was introduced. This can be used to register userdata with custom parameters - here, the hostname. And when deploying the VM, the custom parameters could be set to the desired values. You could refer to https://www.shapeblue.com/cloudstack-managed-user-data/ for more information.

In there, you'll have flexibility to set the hostname of the VM to whatever you'd like.

I did not see the display name in the metadata. I am asking this because the display name allows any format, such as fqdn.tld, and it does not matter if it's a duplicate or not. Thank you, Cristian
