Configure default FQDNs for guest setup
Abiquo can set a hostname and fully qualified domain name (FQDN) before the VM is deployed.
If a user enters an FQDN when they configure the VM, this will override the defaults because is the highest priority FQDN
If the user does not enter an FQDN, Abiquo uses the following default:
- Abiquo database ID (on Windows) or the VM_uuid (on Linux, etc); and
- VM network domain name (from VM NIC or VDC default network) or localdomain
To change the default to always generate the automatic VM name from the database ID:
- Login to the Abiquo API Server as administrator
- Edit the abiquo.properties file and set the following property
# Generate VM name from database ID. If false use VM_uuid on Linux and VM_database ID on Windows abiquo.api.experimental.hostname13charsFromVirtualMachineDatabaseId=true
After the user deploys the VM, the user can change the FQDN in the VM operating system. In this case, Abiquo will update the FQDN stored in the platform.
