2018-01-24 18:34:13,710 - DataSourceCloudStack.py[CRITICAL]: Giving up on waiting for the metadata from ['http://10.41.0.1//latest/meta-data/instance-id'] after 126 seconds

Cause

The 2 minute wait is caused by the cloud-init service; it is looking for a metadata server or a configuration volume. The Open Stack cloud provides a metadata server, but Vmware clouds does not.

Solution

Execute step (a) or (b) to deactivate the cloud-init services thereby avoiding the delay (approx 2 minutes)

a) Mount a virtual CD-ROM that contains a cloud config file that turns off cloud-init permanently.

            - select each problem guest.
            - click insert CD/DVD from Catalog.
            - select nocloudinit.iso from the TPD ISOs catalog & reboot the guest
            - once the guest has rebooted, eject the virtual CD if desired, cloud-init will not run again.

or

  b) If guest is already powered on, deactivate the cloud-init services with the following commands:

- /usr/TKLC/plat/bin/service_conf del cloud-config
- /usr/TKLC/plat/bin/service_conf del cloud-final
- /usr/TKLC/plat/bin/service_conf del cloud-init
- /usr/TKLC/plat/bin/service_conf del cloud-init-local
- /usr/TKLC/plat/bin/service_conf reconfig
