Viewing the VM's Physical Host

Hello,

With the nimbus-cloud-client-021 update, an optional feature was added that allows for a VM's physical host to be visible to the user. This needs to be enabled by the cloud administrator in order to work. I have confirmed that the Sierra node at SDSC has enabled this feature flag, but I can not find any information on how to actually get at this new information.

Is this something that will appear in a 'cloud-client.sh --status' reply?

Will the physical host now respond to traceroutes, etc?

I have tried to look through the nimbus github changes without any luck. I have copied the relevant cloud-client changes update below.

Thanks,
Adam
