Management Code modules

2009-12-16 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi ,

Regarding the documentation on the modularized architecture of the
management node, I found this on the wiki (
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Modularized+Architecture).
But I wanted to know if there any other docs which give out a more detailed
layout.

thanks and regards

VCL standalone installation

2010-02-25 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi,

I was trying to setup a VCL standalone installation , but the image capture
is failing because of some missing files. I wanted to know if there are any
additional sysprep files to be downloaded on the management node?.

Sysprep : failed to delete existing DevicePath key

2010-03-24 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi,

While trying to capture a base windows image, I am getting the following
error. Sysprep is unable to obtain the DevicePath attribute value from the
windows registry.Is there any setting which I am missing before running
sysprep.

VMWARE power off failure during image capture

2010-04-16 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi ,

I am trying to get a VCL standalone installation done and I am trying to
capture a linux image. But I am getting the following error in the VMware
perl tool kit files.
The problem is that at the entry point into the capture routine , hostname
and VMtype are getting detected proprely .i.e. vmguest-1 and vmwareGSX.  But
at the end, when the power off status is being determined, it tries to get
the vm paths and there the hostname is getting retrieved as 1vmguest-1 and
vmguest-1.

if you actually look into the code of get_vm_paths in vmware.pm, it says

# If GSX use image name
if ($vmtype_name =~ /(vmware|vmwareGSX)$/) {
$vmdk_name = $image_name;
}
   * # If ESX use requestid+shortname
elsif ($vmtype_name =~ /(vmwareESX3)/) {
$vmdk_name = "$reservation_id$computer_short_name";
}*




vmtype_name is getting detected as vmware ESX and from then on, hostname and
vmdk files are getting renamed as 1vmguest-1 and so on I wanted to know
if I am missing something here or is it because of some incorrect setting

Re: VMWARE power off failure during image capture

2010-04-21 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi Andy.

I am a bit confused here...
the path which I am using is
/var/lib/vmware/Virtual
Machines/vmwarelinux-base8-v1/vmwarelinux-base8-v1.vmx
 and
/var/lib/vmware/Virtual
Machines/vmwarelinux-base8-v1/vmwarelinux-base8-v1.vmdk

Is it that a directory" $reservation_id$computer_short_name"  for ex .
(2vmguest-1) should be created and the VM files need to be placed there
during the image capture process??


I did troubleshoot by running the command directly on the host. The output
what I get is

"[r...@localhost vmwarelinux-base8-v1]#vmware-cmd /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\
Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx getstate
Enter username:

Enter password:

Undefined subroutine &Opts::getencname called at /usr/bin/vmware-cmd line
339,  line 2."

Wierdly , it is asking a username and password which is causing the error in
VILIb.pm.

The VMware version which I am using is VMware Server Console 1.0.10
build-203137

Thanks and Regards
Vinay Venkatesh.

Re: VMWARE power off failure during image capture

2010-04-22 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi Andy,

I am unable to run "vmware-cmd -l " or any vmware command . I keep getting
the following error
[*r...@localhost bin]# vmware-cmd -l
Enter username:

Enter password:

Undefined subroutine &Opts::getencname called at /usr/bin/vmware-cmd line
339,  line 2*.

I checked up the VIRuntime and VILib Opts packages , there is no function
byname getencname. it also throws an  error for a function set_option which
again is not be found in the package.

I have installed the vmware-vsphere SDK for perl version 4.0.0  and also
VMware VIPerl Toolkit 1.6.0 to be used with my GSX server.

Thanks and Regards
Vinay Venkatesh.

New Reservation Query

2010-05-26 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hello,

I am facing few issues when trying to make a new reservation. even though I
have computers available loaded with the desired image, I still get "There
are currently no computers available that can run the application you
selected". Is there any selection /setting which I am missing.

Thanks and Regards
Vinay Venkatesh.

Re: New Reservation Query

2010-05-29 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Thank you all, the issue was the image groups and computer groups weren't
mapped together and I have fixed it now.
I am able to make a reservation now but the issue which I am now facing is
that when I try to connect to the remote machine through the credentials got
from the web front end, the login fails because of user authentication
issues. however using the same user id and password I am able to login
through the VM console. . Both the ssh daemons are running and node is
accessible.I suspect some configuration issues with the ssh. any help or
suggestions??

Thanks and Regards
Vinay Venkatesh.

VMware.pm module

2010-06-03 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hello,

In the vmware.pm, at the location where vmx file is generated, there is a
piece of code which tries to set the adapter type.
"grep  adapterType
$VMWAREREPOSITORY/$requestedimagename/$requestedimagename.vmdk".

 the output of grep simply states that the following
"Binary file
/install/vmware_images/vmwarelinuxcentos-base8-v1/vmwarelinuxcentos-base8-v1.vmdk
matches".

so the variable listedadapter will not be set  and this is causing incorrect
vmx files to be generated and reservations to fail.

The correct command which would set the variable correctly would be "grep
-a adapterType
$VMWAREREPOSITORY/$requestedimagename/$requestedimagename.vmdk".
I was wondering if anyone encountered the same issue and also whether if its
been fixed.

Tnx
vinay

Re: New Reservation Query

2010-06-04 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi Andy,

Thanks very much for the information. SSH was successfully configured and
listening . The SSHD file had the listen address and AllowUsers directive.
even though I wasn't able to login, the code while checking in for user
connection returned true and moved the system to inuse state.I could login
to the machine on the private interface and netstat -an showed the ssh
connection on the public interface but login was failing . Sounds Weird!!!
But anyway I did the SSH changes from scratch again and have got the system
working.

Thanks and Regards
Vinay Venkatesh.

Win2003 cleanmgr issues

2011-01-10 Thread Vinay Venkatesh

Hi ,

I am trying to capture a win 2003 image. During the precapture process , the
program to clean up the hard disk "cleanmgr" does not seem to complete and
the process stalls. I tried disabling the "Compress old files" options and
gave a try, but it didnt help either. The hard disk capacity is 10GB and
free space of 7GB. Has anyone encountered similar problems with cleanmgr?

Thanks and Regards
Vinay
