Re: bootstrap-vz GCE status

While I'm not sure, the GCE web console probably does the same as gcutil resetinstance, which is equivalent to pressing the hardware reset button on a physical machine.

The serial info contains the console log, assuming the settings to do that got preserved in the switch from build-debian-cloud to bootstrap-vz.

I made a new test today with boot a "sudo reboot" and a graphical reboot and both worked.... So maybe issue was an isolated issue.

Remains hostname not being set, I think it is because /etc/hostname has not been removed from generated image. Google startup scripts would have run the set-hostname script if not present. I will test with this.

By the way, serial console log access is ok.

I may actually have some time to play with bootstrap-vz this week, finally. Looking forward to trying it.

You're saying an instance added from the image booted once, but failed to boot after you typed sudo reboot (or equivalent) from within the VM?

I made a reboot from the graphical interface. Boot "looks" ok, but I can't connect anymore via SSH to the instance.

That is puzzling, and except if something happened during startup to break the boot loader, I don't know why that would happen.

Do you have steps to reproduce? And does gcutil getserialportoutput reveal anything informative?
I have not yet done serial ouput.
VM is shown as started so I think it would rather be a kind of network setup issue at next boot.

I will try to get serial info, just in case.

Hi,
I made a few tests with latest modifications from Tomazs, here are my remarks/pb:

- generated image has the name of the host where image was generated, not the VM instance name

- after a reboot, I cannot connect anymore to the VM
