[one-users] VM_HOOK "on = CREATE" cannot work on remote hosts

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

Indeed, the hook on running is executed after the VM is up and running. You
should also take into account that all the hooks are asynchronous,
OpenNebula will not wait for them to move on to the next states.

If you need to execute a preparation hook before the VM deployment, you'll
have to modify the deploy script, located at
/var/lib/one/remotes/vmm/<hypervisor>/deploy

After that, execute 'onehost sync'. OpenNebula will copy the modified
remotes in the next Host monitorization cycle.
