Re: Problems in Ubuntu image creation
Alex, Thanks for your answers. How can I make sure the OS model is os_linux_ubuntu. I don't see any option in the vcld -setup menu to choose ubuntu. Only option for linux is generic vmware linux. Regarding the network, Ubuntu uses /etc/network/interfaces. After creating ifcfg-eth0 to if cfg-eth6, will Ubuntu look for the ifcfg-eth* for network configuration, instead of /etc/network/interfaces?

Problems in Ubuntu image creation
Dear all, I have to bother you again. I tried to create an Ubuntu image, but I found some problems during the base image creation. Ubuntu uses /etc/network/interfaces to manage networks, but I see VCL is still looking for ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1. Another problem was unable to determine the disk type, which I am not sure if it is specific to Ubuntu. Does VCL support Ubuntu image?

Re: another problem for image reservation
Aaron, Thanks. The question is why the old module using Vmware Server GSX works. If I switch back to Vmware server GSX, windows image works fine.In this case, ssh can log into the image. Do I need to switch back?

another problem for image reservation
Hi All, I have encountered another problem after upgraded to 2.2.1. Per Aaron's suggestion, I changed my Vmguests provisioning engine to Vmware from Vmware Server GSX. However, my Windows XP image failed to reserve after the change. From the log, I found that it looks for 'C:/Windows/System32/qwinsta.exe' and 'C:/Windows/System32/sc.exe config sshd start= auto'. However, both them are not found on my XP image. Do I need to update my XP image? The image works fine on Vmware Server GSX provision engine. The following is the log.

RE: Reservation/reload errors
Hi Alex, Thanks for your quick answers. I checked the image options and compared with vmguests, everything look fine to me. The system worked just fine before, and I just found the problem today. None of images works now. Even when I change the status of a vmguest to maintenance, it fails: The following computers currently have reservations on them but no functional management node was found for them. Nothing will be done with them at this time: vmguest-1 However, there is no reservations at all on the system. Any other suggestions?

Reservation/reload errors
Dear all, Our VCL stops working when I try to reserve any images. It always says that "Selection not currently available" all images. I see that all computers and vmguests are available, and I can log into these nodes too. When I try to reload an image for a vmguest, there is the following error message: No functional management node was found for the following computers. They could not be reloaded at this time: vmguest-5 I don't see anything special in the log file either. I wonder if anyone has seen this problem before, and how to reset the system. Thanks, Lei Huang

If so, you should be able to fix this problem by changing the computer provisioning module to 'VMware' for each of your vmguest computers.

Re: questions regarding creating base images
Aaron, I changed .vmx file to start it using vmware console. After running vcld -setup, it can now log into the VM and change the network settings. After it, I see it shuts down the VM and waits for 120 seconds. However, after it, it cannot bring up the new VM since it is a new image name created. It is not registered on my CSB2 vmware yet. I cannot find the new image files in my vmware repository and the runningvms directory either. Can you see what the problem is?

questions regarding creating base images
Hi everyone, I am following the instruction of creating a base linux image (https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/create-a-linux-base-image.html) , but I am very confused about the document, and would appreciate any help. I have the following settings: 1. Blade #1: management code 2. Blade #2: a compute node (name: CSB2, VM host computer running CentOS 5.5 and VMware server 1.x. It has been added into the VCL database) 3. Two guest VMs (vmguest-1, vmguest-2) assigned to the VM host (CSB2) using the vcl website. I have created a new virtual machine using VMware console in CSB2. Now I would like to capture it. After setting up the network of the VM, I run vcld -setup on the management node. When it asks for the computer name/IP, and here is my confusion. If I enter CSB2, then it changes the network configuration of CSB2 and then shut down the node, which made the entire process failed. If I enter vmguest-1, it couldn't finish the capture either since vmguest-1 is not running. What's wrong in my process? I have read the document several times, but cannot figure it out. Can anyone please help? Thanks, Lei Huang

RE: How to configure a new computing node?
Hi Alex, Thanks for your suggestions! For the image, it works fine when it lauches on virtual hosts on existing nodes. The problem happens when it runs on a new node. I assume the sshd works fine on the image itself. I have set up the ssh key to allow the management node to log in the node successfully. After I log into the new node running VMware, I can see that my network eth0 and eth1 have private and public ip address. However, I found that I cann't ping my gateway from the node. Are there any settings I need to do?

Hello, Did you check su - Log in as root for the image you are working on Password: Turn on sshd by typing /etc/init.d/sshd start Got to the /etc/init.d/ then type chkconfig sshd on Have you made sure that you can ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key ? I had this issue with ssh not kicking off before as well and it was a issue with the image itself. Another helpfull command to check would be ssh -vv (IP address) Have you logged into your box running VMware to see if you are getting a public and private ip address?

RE: How to configure a new computing node?
Sorry for asking again. I suspect that the problem may be related to network setting. I don't understand why ssd on VM was not active. Is it possible that the IP address of VM is not correct?

How to configure a new computing node?
Dear VCL experts, I am working on extending our VCL Cloud system for teaching purpose by adding some new computing nodes. The VCL version is 2.1 and we use VMware server 1.0 in each computing node.

However, I am stuck by the following failure when I tried to reserve an image. == State Est/Act TimeTotal Timeconfirming image exists(22) 0:04/0:24 0:24 starting load process(40) 0:06/2:03 2:27 creating configuration file(28) 0:02/1:01 3:28 starting virtual machine(48) 0:03/0:42 4:10 machine booting(46) 1:08/34:43 38:53 failed: could not load vmx on CSB308 Does anybody know what's wrong on my setup?
