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?.

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, STDIN 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.

  This won't match the name of the vmx and vmdk files.  What are the paths to

 The path to your vmx file should be:

 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx

 The path to the vmdk file should be:
 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/1vmguest-1/vmwarelinux-base8-v1.vmdk

 I'm not familiar with the vmware-cmd command error listed in the log. To
 troubleshoot, can you run the following command:

 vmware-cmd /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx
 getstate

 If this works, try running the same command via SSH to mimic what the vcld
 code tried to run:

 /usr/bin/ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key  -l root -p 22 -x localvmhost 'vmware-cmd
 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx getstate'

 Assuming your vmx path is the one listed in the commands, these commands
 should work.  Also, which version of VMware are you using?

 Regards,
 Andy

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

I checked up the VIRuntime and VILib Opts packages , there is no function

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

 Hello,
 Check if you can run vmware-cmd -l.  It should list the registered VMs.

 The code is very picky about the names of files and hosts.  I ran through a
 test image capture using the names you're using.  I had to change the names
 of the VM directory, vmx, and vmdk files to get it to work.

 Please try the following:

 -Shut down the VM

 -Make a copy of the VM directory to be safe:
 cd /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines
 cp -r vmwarelinux-base8-v1 vmwarelinux-base8-v1-save

 -Unregister the VM:
 vmware-cmd -s unregister /var/lib/vmware/Virtual
 Machines/vmwarelinux-base8-v1/vmwarelinux-base8-v1.vmx

 -Rename the VM directory:
 mv vmwarelinux-base8-v1 1vmguest-1

 -Rename the vmx file:
 cd 1vmguest-1
 mv vmwarelinux-base8-v1.vmx 1vmguest-1.vmx

 -Rename the vmdk file from v1 to v0:
 vmware-vdiskmanager -n vmwarelinux-base8-v1.vmdk vmwarelinux-base8-v0.vmdk

 -Edit the vmx file: vi 1vmguest-1.vmx.  The path to the vmdk file is in
 this file.  Change the path to the vmdk file to the renamed directory/file:
 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/1vmguest-1/vmwarelinux-base8-v0.vmdk

 -Register the renamed VM:
 vmware-cmd -s register /var/lib/vmware/Virtual
 Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx

 -Power on the VM:
 vmware-cmd /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx
 start

 -Try to start the capture again.  All you should need to do is change the
 request.stateid to 16 (image).  vcld will then attempt to process it again.

 Hope this helps,

 Andy

 vmware-cmd /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx
 getstate

 If this works, try running the same command via SSH to mimic what the
 vcld
 code tried to run:

 /usr/bin/ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key  -l root -p 22 -x localvmhost
 'vmware-cmd
 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/1vmguest-1/1vmguest-1.vmx getstate'

 Assuming your vmx path is the one listed in the commands, these commands
 should work.  Also, which version of VMware are you using?

 Regards,
 Andy

  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

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

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

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.

 It sounds like the user account was successfully created.  Check if SSH is
 listening on both the public and private addresses:
 netstat -l -n | grep ':22'

 If it isn't listening on the public address, then there's probably a
 problem with /etc/ssh/external_sshd_config or /etc/init.d/ext_sshd.  Check
 the end of external_sshd_config.  There should be 2 lines containing the
 correct username and public IP address for the reservation:

 ListenAddress public IP
 AllowUsers username

 Also, check if you can SSH from the management node to the VM using the
 username/password for the reservation on either the VM's public or private
 address.

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

 I'd like to propose cutting an interim VCL 2.2.1 release within the next
 month.  There have been a fair number of bug fixes committed since VCL 2.2
 was released and there is quite a bit of work to do on the 2.3 roadmap
 features.

 Thoughts?
