I'm about to embark on writing a new provisioning module for VCL based
on some existing perl scripts I have. Is there any documentation for
how the module interface works? I haven't been able to find any aside
from reading existing modules. Also are there any required/preferred
coding guid

xCAT2.X does something different to collect the ssh host keys, so
eventually makesshgkh and the original xCAT.pm module will not be needed.
Ok, that makes sense.

I'd like to share for possible inclusion in VCL. The module is based
off VCL 2.1.
This module is designed to work against VirtualCenter/vCenter, but
should be able to work directly with an ESX host as well. It works a
jira issue already created for it? I didn't see one and don't

We can attach it to a jira issue scheduled for the 2.2 release.

You should verify the PATH environment variable that's set when vcld is
started. You may have to manually set it in the init script if your
system is stripping it down.
