Hi, We are reloading the fefora 10 VMs to the ESXi Hypervisor now with VCL version 2.1. The steps of the operations are as follows:
1. Add the ESXi Hypervisor to VCL; 2. Configure & test the NFS service, and mount the NFS named "VCL" to the target ESXi Hypervisor; 3. Make a fedora 10's VM image with ESXi and copy the vmdk, vmx, nvram etc. files to the directory NFSROOT/golden/[IMG_NAME]; 4. Add the image into the tables of vcl database; 5. After those operations, the new image ( named esx3-Fedora-v0) is correctly found in the list. Then we select the target ESXi hypervisor and click reload, all are OK before the following exception: Apr 21 20:47:34 Hostd: Accepted password for user vcl from 127.0.0.1 > Apr 21 20:47:34 Hostd: [2009-04-21 20:47:34.396 'Vimsvc' 81926 info] [Auth]: > User vcl > Apr 21 20:47:34 Hostd: [2009-04-21 20:47:34.397 'ha-eventmgr' 81926 info] > Event 114 : User v...@127.0.0.1 logged in > Apr 21 20:47:35 Hostd: [2009-04-21 20:47:35.751 'TaskManager' 49156 info] > Task Created : haTask-ha-folder-vm-vim.Folder.register And the logs in the file vcld.log show the following msgs: 2009-04-21 17:24:56|7759|18:18|reload|esx.pm:load(336)|Register Command: > /usr/lib/vmware-viperl/apps/vm/vmregister.pl --server 'esxi2.p12.edu.cn' > --username vcl --password 'xjtudlc' --vmxpath > '[VCL]/inuse/VM_ubuntu8/esx3-Fedora-v0.vmx' --operation register --vmname > VM_ubuntu8 --pool Resources --hostname 'esxi2.p12.edu.cn' --datacenter > 'ha-datacenter' > 2009-04-21 17:25:01|7759|18:18|reload|esx.pm:lo > |7759|18:18|reload| SOAP Fault: > |7759|18:18|reload| ----------- > |7759|18:18|reload| Fault string: The object or item referred to could not > be found. > |7759|18:18|reload| Fault detail: NotFoundFault > Are there any mistakes in our operations, or any key points to pay attention to when creating the images which are used in the reload operation ?
