an image, but telling it to use the same name as an existing
image.
I'll try to enumerate what you should check (I'll leave out the specifics for
the parts that have already been mentioned).
- -image is in an image group
- -image group is mapped to a computer group
- -computer group contains computers in the available state
- -you have an active management node (it is updating lastcheckin in the
management node table)
- -management node is in a management node group
- -management node group maps to a computer group containing specified computer
from above
- -schedule for computer is available during the selected time
- -platform for image matches platform of computer
- -privileges set up in Privileges section of site to allow you to access image
and computer
- -specs of image (min RAM, min CPU speed, etc) are at or less than specs of
computer
- -no other entries in the reservation table for the computer that overlap with
the selected time period
Let us know if you are still having trouble after checking the above list.

After an image is created, how do you get make it available for requesting?
I followed these directions to create a base Windows XP image and created
the entry in the vcl database.
http://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/creating-a-windows-xp-base-image-on-vmware.html
As stated previously, the vcld.log gives the critical error that the image
already exists in the repository and then it goes on to say image creation
failed and begins to exit the reservation process.
Is there something else that I'm supposed to do?

I am testing a base Windows XP image (no apps) and have its image
requirements set for the following:
minram: 512
minprocnumber: 1
minprocspeed: 1024
minnetwork: 100
I've also tried to make sure the image is grouped correctly and mapped to
the correct server, however it still gives the error.
Does the message in the vcld.log of image already exists in the
repository after I submit the sql statements to manually place a request
an image have anything to do with the error?
Thanks,
Kelly

Kelly,
One other thing that it may be is if you set the image requirements too
high (min CPU, min ram etc), if your servers or VMs aren't set high enough
to meet those criteria it can also give you that message.

Subject: VCL Reservation Problem
How do you get VCL to allow an image to be requested? I've added the image
to the database and would now like to request it through the web interface,
however when you click New Reservation and select the image from the drop
down menu, it gives a message that states Selection Not Currently
Available.
I've tried to manually insert a request into the database using the
following sql statements, however the vcld.log gives error messages stating
that the image already exists in the repository. What am I missing?
=
INSERT INTO `vcl`.`request` (
`id` ,
`stateid` ,
`userid` ,
`laststateid` ,
`logid` ,
`forimaging` ,
`test` ,
`preload` ,
`start` ,
`end` ,
`daterequested` ,
`datemodified`
)
VALUES (
'1' , '16', '1', '16', '', '1', '0', '0', NOW( ) , TIMESTAMPADD(MINUTE,
120, NOW()), NOW( ) , NULL );

INSERT INTO `vcl`.`reservation` (
