OpenStack Compute (nova)

Cannot change the VM password with nova API on grizzly

Asked by arturo lorenzo

I cannot change the root password with the nova API, I get this http rsp error:
Unable to set password on instance", "code": 501
and in the nova-compute.log:
NotImplementedError: set_admin_password is not implemented by this driver or guest instance.
I am using this image: ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
Any clues or ideas?
Thanks!

The operation may be available depending on your virt layer of choice. As far as I can tell, this is not available with libvirt.

These days you might want to check:

It's another good source of information.
