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? Any suggestions/hints would be very much appreciated!

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?

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.

Re: How to configure a new computing node?
I am posting this on behalf of Greg Duhon
I have one more suggestion to add. Verify that the networks are not
switched. In other words, is the public network on the private
interface or private network on the public interface. I can't tell
you how many times this one dinged us when we first started using VCL.

If you can't ping your gateway, it's either a network problem,
or a firewall problem.
Try pinging the gateway, and then dumping your arp table
('arp -an'). If you see the mac address for the gateway in
your arp table, it's probably a firewall issue. If the
mac address isn't there, it's a network problem

Aaron,
Thank you for your reply. I copied some log information as
follows. It looks like the VM was started, but sshd on the VM was
not active. The script looped and waited for half an hour and
failed at the end. The image works fine on existing blades. I
wonder if there is some configuration of VM server I didn't set

Re: How to configure a new computing node?
Hello Lei, Could you provide the log file for vcld related to this reservation failure. It's default location is /var/log/vcld.log Thanks, Aaron On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 2:19 AM, Huang,Lei lhu...@pvamu.edu wrote: Dear VCL experts, I am working on extending our VCL Cloud system for teaching purpose by adding some new computing nodes. The VCL version is 2.1 and we use VMware server 1.0 in each computing node. I have installed CentOS 5.0 and Vmware server 1.0 on a new blade, configured the network and VCL. However, I am stuck by the following failure when I tried to reserve an image. == State Est/Act TimeTotal Timeconfirming image exists(22) 0:04/0:24 0:24 starting load process(40) 0:06/2:03 2:27 creating configuration file(28) 0:02/1:01 3:28 starting virtual machine(48) 0:03/0:42 4:10 machine booting(46) 1:08/34:43 38:53 failed: could not load vmx on CSB308 Does anybody know what's wrong on my setup? It takes very long time to boot an image, but failed at the end. I am wondering if there is any instruction of how to install a computing node that I can follow. Thanks a lot in advance.
