• If there is bootstrap data, Abiquo creates an ISO disk 
  
  1. Abiquo will check that there are fewer than 4 IDE drives before attaching the ISO because that is the maximum number you can attach to the VM 
  2. The ISO disk has the label "config-2"
  3. Abiquo adds the following files to the folder "openstack/latest"
     
     1. user_data: Abiquo VM Bootstrap script
     2. vm-variables.rc:  Abiquo VM variables that are in 'key'='value'

     3. meta_data.json: Abiquo VirtualMachineIdentifier. The meta_data.json file is in the following format:

     4. If DHCP is not used in your environment, the network configuration of the VM will be placed in network_data.json file

  • You must obtain or create a template that runs cloud-init services or cloudbase-init services (for Windows), or a similar system. The template that you use will determine what the VM will do with the configuration data.

  • You do not need to allow any type of access to the VM because the VM can pull its own configuration from the Configuration drive.
