[one-users] are variables inside the vm template possible?

[Javier Fontan]

Hello,

Unfortunately it is not python script but it is parsed by OpenNebula
itself. Only context part substitutes those parameters. The solution
can come from letting kvm select the vnc port and modifying vmm driver
to get vnc host/port in poll call (VM monitoring). I don't think that
is too hard to do. Maybe we can add a ticket as a feature request.

Bye
