Re: Base Image creation error - VMware host config
Al,
if you plan to use the vSphere API, then you will need to install the vSphere
SDK for Perl separately. The perl modules are available here -- just make sure
that you download the release that matches your vCenter version.

Thanks again Aaron. It seems we are taking baby steps here.
Ok, next issue: When I click Configure Host in the vcl web interface,
nothing happens.
My Vmware server is listed there. It is in vmhostinuse state.
I noticed some complaints below about the Vsphere perl module not being
installed.
I thought that was done in the install_perl_libraries script.
Thanks again for all your help.

Make sure your vm host server have a correctly configured vmhost
profile and you have assigned your vms to the virtual host server by
using the Virtual Host interface.

I'm not seeing the virtual host interface mentioned directly in the
vcl 2.2.1 install guide. I'll added that to the first link.
Here is a link from a bootcamp that you can review this morning while
I work on adding the content to Apache VCL:

Ok, now it can resolve the name redhat64base to the private IP address
10.0.0.2.
I tried to add the base image as the name linux64.
It resides in the database as redhat64base, with the public IP of
10.106.128.53, and set as available.
I'm not sure what this error message is telling meŠ

Re: Base Image creation error - VMware host config
Thank you Josh. I found the missing Dojo javascript. Now I get the correct response when adding the VM to the host.

Can you check to see if your browser is saying there was an error? If you use Firefox, you can install the Firebug Add-on to really see what is happening. If you can give me an error message, I could probably tell you what is not configured correctly. Josh On Tuesday October 25, 2011, Evelio Quiros wrote: Yes, that was done. The server is set to vmhostinuse. In the Manage Virtual Hosts page, none of the buttons seem to do anything. In troubleshooting this, I did set the state to available, and then found I could not set it back to vmhostinuse. I deleted the entry, and added a new one with a slightly different hostname, but same IP, and set that to vmhostinuse. I added the new hostname to my hosts file. Shall I attempt to add the vSphere perl module with cpan ?
