Juan Could you please check the following:
- VMWARE host is added with following properties: State: vmhostinuse, Type: blade, Provisioning Engine: xCAT 2.x. You can check/change it under Manage Computers. - the VM you are trying to image (lets call it baseImage01) is added with following properties: State: available, Type: virtualmachine, Provisioning Engine: VMWare. - make sure that baseImage01 VM is assigned to VMWare host under Virtual Hosts, select your VM Host from the list and add baseImage01 to 'VMs assigned to host'; - from Linux server where you have VCLD make sure you can ssh to VMWare host using vcl.key: run 'ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key vmwarehost' (I think name of the host in your case is u804vmsrv). You should login without a need to enter password. This implies that 'End Node SSH Identity Key Files:' is to /etc/vcl/vcl.key in management node configuration. - from Linux server where you have VCLD make sure you can ssh to baseImage01 VM using vcl.key: run 'ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key baseImage01'. Once you checked/set all these, try to create image again. Thanks.
