Define a host type

To add a host type for a cloud, specify its attributes such as CPU, disk size and memory, and price for usage in an XML configuration file.

  1. On the cloud's Admin page, click Modify Cloud.
  2. Edit the XML fille. Here's an example:
     <host_type  value="Sun">
                <contains>
                    <size  value="extra_small">
                        <price base="0.1"   />
                        <provides>
                            <memsize  value="256" />
                            <disksize  value="10" />
                            <ncpu  value="1" />
                        </provides>
                    </size>
                    <size  value="small">
                        <price base="0.2"   />
                        <provides>
                            <memsize  value="512" />
                            <disksize  value="10" />
                            <ncpu  value="1" />
                        </provides>
                    </size>
                    <size  value="medium">
