Persistent Images

2012-04-26 Thread Evelio Quiros
Hello,

Is there a way to specify an always persistent image on certain reservations ?
I know to select Create/Update Image under Manage Images, but is there some 
way to say Every time THIS image is selected, make it persistent ?
I want to create a group of  always persistent images and subimages, so that 
when a user asks for a reservation, all the images and child images come up 
persistent.

Thanks,
Al Quiros

Oscar,

Juan Zamanillo from Tech Monterrey contributed Spanish translation files.  You 
can download the files from subversion if you want to have a look:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/vcl/trunk/web/js/nls/es_MX/messages.js
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/vcl/trunk/web/locale/po_files/es_MX/vcl.po

Any idea if there are any notable differences between Spanish in Venezuela and 
in Mexico that would make it worth having separate translation files?

Thanks,
Josh

Long term reservation

2012-04-26 Thread Emir Imamagic

Hello,

We've noticed that in case of long term reservations VCL copies the 
virtual disk of image on datastore. In case of images with many 
subimages (20) we experienced problems with this copying. VCL would 
initiate multiple vmkfstools commands, ESXi server would get overloaded 
and start killing vmkfstools processes (messages were indicating lack of 
memory). Is there any way to bypass this behavior?
Is this copying really needed? Is it possibly to switch it off in a 
clean manner?


Another question is - how many VMs can vcld handle per a single VM host 
(VMware ESXi 4.1)?
On our setup we managed to start 100 VMs on a single VMware host and it 
was still working fine. VM host has 24 cores and 256GB RAM.


Thanks in advance
