Dmitri,

Aaron is correct that you need to do it under Computer Utilities.

However, it is okay to change the state under Edit Computer Information.  
There just happens to be a bug in 2.2.1 that keeps you from being able to 
change the state for virtual computers.  I've fixed it for the 2.3 release.

Dmitri,

If you go to the 'Computer Utilities' screen under manage computers, you will 
be able to change the computer's state. It sounds like you are trying to modify 
the state from the 'Edit Computer Information' page, which is not where that 
should be done.

Hi

After some progress yesterday I still got an error while creating an image.
The error was:

...

I'll figure out how to fix it, but have a related questions.

Creating the image failed and during the process vm-00 was put in 'maintains'
mode (stateid=10) and it stays in this mode after failure. It's not
possible to change the mode to 'available' (get the message - Virtual
machines can only be added in the maintenance state.) via web portal. Looks
like I need to re-add vm-00 (have to use 'Add multiple' option) or to
change stateid value in vcl.computer : UPDATE `vcl`.`computer` SET
`stateid` = '2' WHERE `computer`.`id` =36

Is it OK to do it this way? Or am I missing something?

Thanks.

Re: Linux base image on ESXi server?

2011-11-02 Thread Dmitri Chebotarov
Hi

I got some progress on this issue. I tried to run vmware-cmd from
vcl-server and got the same error - Server version unavailable at  , which
could mean SSL certificate is missing. Then found this post
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1347703 and added these two lines to
/usr/local/vcl/lib/VCL/Module/Provisioning/VMware/vSphere_SDK.pm after line
62

$ENV{SSL_verify_mode} = 0x00;
$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;

This change allowed image creation to start successfully. VCLD connects to
ESXi server OK and gets server version. It doesn't use ssh keys from
/etc/vcl/vcl.key, but username/password configured in the profile.

Thanks.

Hello

Got this link from one of the posts on this elist -
https://sites.google.com/a/ncsu.edu/vcl-bootcamp/. I hope it helps me
understand the VCL better...
Can you recommend anything else to read about Apache VCL, besides
https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/ ?

Thanks.

Linux base image on ESXi server?

2011-11-01 Thread Dmitri Chebotarov
Hi All

I'm stuck on creating a base image (Linux) for newly deployed Apache VCL
system and looking for help...
This is the closes I got so far to a working system.
I'm using ESXi 4.1 (60 days evaluation), ssh is enabled, ESXi server name
is esxiServer01, added to the host file on VCL management server. Linux
server being imaged is vm-00 running on esxiServer01. Added to the host
file as well on VCL server. I can ping both and ssh -i key host works.

Below is the full log for the process. These lines puzzle me:

2011-11-01
08:40:59|16965|20:20|image|OS.pm:is_ssh_responding(405)|esxiServer01 is NOT
responding to SSH, SSH command failed, port 22: open, port 24: closed

2011-11-01 08:40:59|16965|20:20|image|VMware.pm:initialize(257)|unable to
control OS of VM host esxiServer01 using VCL::Module::OS::Linux::UnixLab OS
object because VM host is not responding to SSH

since I can ping the VM host and 'ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key esxiServer01'
works fine.

Also all http(s) links work fine when I access them from management server.

Is there a way to create and register images manually? Can I use Veeam
FastSCP or similar software to copy VMs to VCL server and register them? If
there is way to do so, anyone has a link?

I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Here is the full log file for the imaging process:
