Re: root user privileges on per user, per environment basis ?

Since we're brainstorming, why not give all users sudo access all the time and not have a distinction between root and/or admin level access? The mantra of VCL (I think) is to provision a resource and then blow it away, so why not let them have freedom in this temporary environment all the

root user privileges on per user, per environment basis ?

The latest commit by Brian highlighted that a feature change for root/admin access might be needed for a future release(maybe for release 2.2). Background: Under certain provisioning engines or OS modules 'root/admin' level access is granted because the node can be reloaded. Also enabling ro

Re: VCL wiki issue

Aaron, I updated the Wiki so that users that have not signed in can view the VCL pages. I also added you as an admin for the space with full permissions. We should probably create a couple of groups for access. Unless there are objections I'll add the committers (apache IDs) with permi

VCL release process VCL 2.1

Mentors, What are the steps for cutting a release? I think/suggest that by the end-of April(or sooner) we will have enough committed changes to create the release of VCL 2.1 Thanks, Aaron

Re: Image Creation & ESX Reload

Thank you ! I will try to solve it and send my experience as quickly if related to the VCL. I am now starting with it, and some of the questions may be not that proper. Thank you for your patience! 2009/3/30 Brian Bouterse > Although I helped create the VCL 1.9 VM, I'm only useful to help solve

VCL wiki issue

The confluence site doesn't seem to be setup correctly. Users have to login to view anything. Could this be opened so folks don't have to create an account and login to view material. Aaron

Re: Image Creation & ESX Reload

Although I helped create the VCL 1.9 VM, I'm only useful to help solve VCL and ESX related problems. The kickstart stuff is all xcat driven, and xcat is a different provisioning module than the ESX.pm module. The VCL 1.9 VM lacks the ESX.pm provisioning code so to deploy to ESX using netb

Changing the password for a user

I've created a few usern...@local users, and this user information is stored in the VCL database. I've assigned these usernames random passwords so that I can send them to their owners. I'd like their owners to be able to change this password form the web interface. Is this possible? B

Re: ESX Provisioning Module Update (and a few concerns)

Hi All, Instead of a 'slot', can there be a notion of available resource for a computer (where computer in this case is a hypervisor)? This will allow vcl to 'pack' vm's onto a hypervisor based on the worst case resource parameters for a vm image. This also leads to the notion of a placement modu

ESX Provisioning Module Update (and a few concerns)

I wanted to let folks know the ESX provisioning module should be finished, or at least in a beta form. I have closed the JIRA ticket (VCL-29) corresponding to the creation of this module. Here is a review of the new functionality: Manage multiple ESX or ESX 3i hypervisors Deploys virtual
