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? Thanks, Lei On 11/2/11 1:37 PM, Aaron Peeler fapee...@ncsu.edu wrote: Hi Lei, The issue in the log output is related to ssh is not responding. Double check that you can log into vmguest-1 or vmguest-3 via ssh (you have a couple of different reservations in your log output). Things to check are to; make sure your vmguest-X machines are getting the correct dhcp IP address. make sure cygwin sshd service is started.

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.

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?
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?

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 hostname or IP address ? 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?
