Re: questions regarding creating base images
Aaron, My current setting is using Vmware Server GSX. Do I need to upgrade my VM server from 1.0 to 2.0?

Re: questions regarding creating base images
It looks like your using an older vmware provisioning module called vmware.pm. It should be using the newer one under /../vcl/lib/VCL/Module/Provisioning/VMware/VMware.pm Please check the vm compute nodes in your vcl interface for vmguest-1 and vmguest-2. Manage computers -> Select all computers Select Edit Computer Information Make sure Provisioning Engine is selected Hit submit Make sure it says VMware Can you also send the sql output of the below query from your database? This is going to help us make sure the VMware provisioning name listed in the VCL interface is using the correct perl module. On your management node at the mysql command line or via phpmyadmin, run this query on the vcl database. SELECT computer.hostname,provisioning.*,module.perlpackage FROM computer,provisioning, module WHERE computer.hostname like '%vmguest%' AND provisioning.id = computer.provisioningid AND module.id = provisioning.id Thanks, Aaron On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Huang,Lei wrote: > Aaron, > Here is some log information.

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?

Re: questions regarding creating base images
The easiest way is to use the vmware console. Log into the vmware host CSB2 and run the command vmware & You can either modify the .vmx file or edit the settings via the vmware console.

Re: questions regarding creating base images
Aaron, Thanks for your answer. How can I load my VM using vmguest-1? What command should I use? Do I need to modify the .vmx file to add the static IP address for my new VM?

Re: questions regarding creating base images
Hello Lei, When prompted for the computer name/IP, you will want to enter vmguest-1. The vm needs to be running and you need to be able to login via ssh identity keys from your management node.
