RE: VCL-427 managing user group for block allocations
I don't think this would cause us any problems. The way we use block allocations, we always set admin@Local as the managing group.

You have the option to set the managing user group to 'None'. If you do that for a block allocation that was requested by a normal user, then no one will be able to manage the block allocation. In 2.3, there will be the option to grant any user group access to manage block allocations for just their affiliation. I'm thinking with this option, there is no longer the need to select a managing user group for block allocations. So, I'd like to just drop the managing user group altogether. In which case, if you are in a user group having the Manage Block Allocations (affiliation only) permission, on the Block Allocations page, you'd see all block allocations owned by people with the same affiliation you have. If you are in a user group having the Manage Block Allocations (global) permission, you'd see all block allocations. Does this sound okay to everyone? Is anyone using the managing user group in such a way that this change would cause a problem?

questions regarding creating base images
Hi everyone, I am following the instruction of creating a base linux image (https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/create-a-linux-base-image.html) , but I am very confused about the document, and would appreciate any help. I have the following settings: 1. Blade #1: management code 2. Blade #2: a compute node (name: CSB2, VM host computer running CentOS 5.5 and VMware server 1.x. It has been added into the VCL database) 3. Two guest VMs (vmguest-1, vmguest-2) assigned to the VM host (CSB2) using the vcl website. I have created a new virtual machine using VMware console in CSB2. Now I would like to capture it. After setting up the network of the VM, I run vcld -setup on the management node. When it asks for the computer name/IP, and here is my confusion. If I enter CSB2, then it changes the network configuration of CSB2 and then shut down the node, which made the entire process failed. If I enter vmguest-1, it couldn't finish the capture either since vmguest-1 is not running. What's wrong in my process? I have read the document several times, but cannot figure it out. Can anyone please help? Thanks, Lei Huang
