Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Hi Aaron,
I've committed a new version of OSX.pm to the repository. It includes
the following
enable_firewall_port() - new
get_cpu_core_count() - new
check_connection_on_port() - new
user_exists() - new
set_vcld_post_load_status() - fix
It includes all the formatting from Andy (I removed the stuff, too)
I also switched the run_ssh_command() call for the $self->execute() call.
It makes the code easier to read.
If I missed anything please let me know.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Hi Jim,
I have another routine to add to OSX.pm. user_exists. It was mainly
needed for the server reservations.
It's using the id cmd, so it shouldn't need any changes. But since it
wouldn't work for windows, I couldn't put it in the OS.pm module.
=head2 user_exists
Parameters :
Returns :
Description :
=cut
sub user_exists {
my $self = shift;
if (ref($self) !~ /linux/i) {
notify($ERRORS{'CRITICAL'}, 0, "subroutine was called
as a function, it must be called as a class method");
return;
}
my $management_node_keys = $self->data->get_management_node_keys();
my $computer_node_name = $self->data->get_computer_node_name();
# Attempt to get the username from the arguments
# If no argument was supplied, use the user specified in the
DataStructure
my $username = shift;
if (!$username) {
$username = $self->data->get_user_login_id();
}
notify($ERRORS{'DEBUG'}, 0, "checking if user $username exists on
$computer_node_name");
# Attempt to query the user account
my $query_user_command = "id $username";
my ($query_user_exit_status, $query_user_output) =
$self->execute($query_user_command,1);
if (grep(/uid/, @$query_user_output)) {
notify($ERRORS{'DEBUG'}, 0, "user $username exists on
$computer_node_name");
return 1;
}
elsif (grep(/No such user/i, @$query_user_output)) {
notify($ERRORS{'DEBUG'}, 0, "user $username does not exist on
$computer_node_name");
return 0;
}

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Andy, The 'currentimage.txt' line you were referring to was originally one line, and it was commented out. Chances are, the reason the 'currentimage.txt' line looks weird is probably due to you looking at it from a windows system. The original code has the line commented out. The line contains a 'ctrl-M', which windows is interpreting as a carriage return. So windows breaks the one line into 2 lines at the carriage return (aka ctrl-M). i.e. Original Linux > # # remove carriage returns > #$command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s/^M//g\' currentimage.txt"; Window's > # # remove carriage returns > # $command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s/ > //g\' currentimage.txt"; I'm thinking the whole mess should be removed to avoid any problems.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andy, Thanks for the head's up. I'll check on the 'currentimage.txt' lines. Currently, I've found that there are at least 3 additional subroutines required for 2.3. I'm in the process of writing the following subroutines. 'check_connection_on_port' 'get_cpu_core_count' 'enable_firewall_port' Josh already made a change to the 'requests.php' that I needed. I'll grap a copy of OSX.pm from the repository, and make sure to include the indentation/space changes.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Hi Jim, I made a commit to OSX.pm this morning. I mainly changed the indentation. For the most part, the Perl code is indented using tabs. I also made some minor indentation/spacing changes to the pod sections so that the output lined up when running pod2text, etc. These sections must be indented using spaces. None of the code functionality should have changed except for possibly one location. My editor was complaining about lines 1843/1844 in the previous revision: 1843: #$command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s/ 1844: //g\' currentimage.txt"; I'm assuming both of these lines should be commented. I changed it to: 1783: # $command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s///g\' currentimage.txt"; Please do an 'svn up' and make sure I didn't mess anything up.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Hi Jim, Made progress to a point, I wasn't able to get a full blown instance going, but I feel my effort was good enough to prove it can be done and used. Overall the code looks good and as we move forward, possibly in the 2.4 release, I think it would be ideal to put all OS related routines in their respective OS modules, like notify_via_(wall,msg,oascript), etc. In the supporting documentation for this on the vcl wiki somewhere, I recommend to list known working apple hardware. So far I can say that it would work with the Mac Mini 2011 model and your running it on MacPro. I'll work on committing the backend and db components it into trunk on your behalf. I think Josh has already committed the php part. Thanks for the work and sorry it took so long to review it.

By chance have you tried to use other apple hardware? I've got a mac mini (2010 mid) model. The initial issue I've run into is the usb keyboard gets disabled once the vmware kernel is loaded. In searching on a solution for this, I've run across folks stating that there is a missing network adapter as well and that has to added later. I'm going to attempt to install ESXi on a usb drive and boot the mac mini off of that (hopefully). So I was wondering if you've installed ESXi (either 4.1 or 5 ) on a mac mini yet?

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Thanks Jim. Right, I saw that one also. I've got a 2010 mac mini model which also has the keyboard issue. Doesn't seem like it's feasible to use the 2010 model. Going to give it one more shot with trying to do a kickstart install off the dvd. It that doesn't work then I'll try to locate a 2011 model. Overall your code looks good and should work - just would like to test it.
