cloud-init error: ochami cloud-init group render compute x2000c2s7b0n0

[sujit-jadhav]

I am getting following error when executing the cloud-init command.

[root@demo nodes]# ochami cloud-init group render compute x2000c2s7b0n0
2025-07-14T21:05:19+05:30 ERR cloud_init-group-render.go:51 > failed to get cloud-init group
2025-07-14T21:05:19+05:30 ERR lib.go:433 > see 'ochami cloud-init group render --help' for long command help

Kindly let me know what am I missing, and how to resolve this issue?

Looks like x2000c2s7b0n0 is not part of any groups. Since cloud-init templates are usually based on group membership, that could be an issue.

Group membership is controlled by smd. Have you added your node to a group using an ochami smd command?

        "vendor_data": {
          "groups": {},
          "version": "1.0"
        }

This issue is resolved after adding the node to group using ochami smd
ochami smd group member add compute x2000c2s7b0n0

Thank you 👍
