Re: Newly created image reload failing on sandbox

2010-07-16 Thread Brian Copcea 
Hello all -

When we spoke earlier Kiran, this was the directory problem I suspected but
the Error -16 threw me off.

There is a bug in vmware.pm for ESX that makes the directory name for the
new image, and then uses the move command in an attempt to rename the
previously named directory under the reservation numbervm guest schema
to the correct image name.  However, since it created the new directory
already, it simply copies the directory under the correctly named directory
instead of actually renaming the images as intended.

I don't know if this bug exists for the code for GSX/VMware Server as well,
but I would guess it does with the above directory structure you gave that
this is what is happening.  I will try to reply to this thread later with
the exact location of the ESX vmware.pm code I had to change and see if I
can find any GSX counterparts.

Aaron, I said I would submit a Jira issue about this and I got a bit slack -
I'll try to get that done this weekend.

I hope this helps and makes sense...

Sincerely,

Brian Copcea

  Once you are logged in to the management node vm within the sandbox
 image,
  you
  should just be able to run ssh vmhost1 to connect to it.  If you can't
 do
  that, then you have bigger problems because that is how vcld (from within
  the
  sandbox) runs commands on the vmhost.

Newly created image reload failing on sandbox

2010-07-15 Thread Kiran N 
Hi All,
I made an imaging reservation on the sandbox image and the image got created
but that new image cant be reloaded on any computer.
I am getting an error.
VMControl error -16: Virtual machine requires user input to continue
I am not sure as to what input I need to provide and I tried few means for
login to the virtual machine but i think I have no access.
I just read online that restarting the virtiual machine might help.. Any
ideas..?
Below is the detailed log when I try to make a reservation on the newly
created image.

Kiran,

A message like this indicates that the virtual machine was unable to start due 
to some error condition. You need to logon to your VMWare host server vmhost1, 
and start the vmware console so you can see the message of what input it's 
asking for. This will give you a clue as to what is wrong.

Re: Newly created image reload failing on sandbox

2010-07-15 Thread Kiran N 
Hello,
I entered the command from the command line and got the output as shown:

[r...@bn18-113 ~](vmhost1)# vmware-cmd
/var/lib/vmware/runningvms/vmwarelinux-test12-v0vm1/vmwarelinux-test12-v0vm1.vmx
answer

Question (id = 981054133) :Cannot open the disk
'/var/lib/vmware/images/vmwarelinux-test12-v0/vmwarelinux-test12-v0.vmdk' or
one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Reason: The system cannot find the file specified.
0) OK
Select choice. Press enter for default 0 :

So, when I go to the path /var/lib/vmware/images/vmwarelinux-test12-v0/ I
cannot see the .vmdk file
instead the path is /var/lib/vmware/images/vmwarelinux-test12-v0/2vm1
Also in the log we see:

2010-07-15 13:57:22|27904|6:6|new|vmware.pm:load(658)|path is
/install/vmware_images/vmwarelinux-test12-v0/vmwarelinux-test12-v0.vmdk
2010-07-15 13:57:22|27904|6:6|new|vmware.pm:load(668)|grep:
/install/vmware_images/vmwarelinux-test12-v0/vmwarelinux-test12-v0.vmdk: No
such file or directory


Hence the problem is that I think is the image creation process doesnt not
create files in correct path and so the .vmdk file cannot be found and the
naming is also different.

Michael, I am unable to login to the vmhost1, I think some access issue..
not sure..!

Please advise!

Once you are logged in to the management node vm within the sandbox image, you 
should just be able to run ssh vmhost1 to connect to it.  If you can't do 
that, then you have bigger problems because that is how vcld (from within the 
sandbox) runs commands on the vmhost.
