OpenNebula DHCP leases – automatic lease discovery – : | : vortex of false deceit :

OpenNebula uses a network template file that lists all the available IPs within a specific network that can be given to the Virtual Machines on an OpenNebula deployment. The template can define more details such as gateway, resolves, network class and so on. In our case, we just need a list of available leases for the VMs to pick up. The following script automates the process of getting listed all the available IPs within the network range of the bridged interface of the OpenNebula host machine, starting from checking the first IP after that of the bridged interface.
