2. Enable cloud-init 4 services.
systemctl enable cloud-init-local
systemctl enable cloud-init
systemctl enable cloud-config
systemctl enable cloud-final

3. Add "disable_vmware_customization: false" to /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg

4. Add below 2 lines to Unit sesstion of vmtoolsd service if they are not there:
DefaultDependencies=no
Before=cloud-init-local.service

5. Poweroff VM

6. Edit VM configuration to not check "Connect At Power On" for all DVD Drivers.

7. Select one DHCP policy to do "Customize Guest OS", in which will set one special hostname

8. Power On VM and log in to VM.

9. Execute"hostname" to check hostname is expected.

Expected Result:
Step 9, execute "hostname" on VM will display same one with which is given in Policy in Step7.
Actual Result:
Step 9, execute "hostname" on VM display different one with which is given in Policy in Step7.
