Windows 7 image creation fails

2011-03-25 Thread Marty Malinics

Hi,
My Windows 7 image keeps failing with the below error but I am not sure where 
to look to resolve this. I did select no sysprep during image creation and my 
image does not require any driver additional driver installs. Do drivers need 
to be in place on the management node even though I don't require them?

Re: [BULK] Re: unable to access vmx base directory path

2011-02-12 Thread Marty Malinics

Yes this easily gets confusing. The directory on the management node is
set under your management node configuration under install path.  This
is actually stores a copy of the image. The datastore is a directory on
the ESXi and from what I understand can be a local volume or a network
resource (nfs). When you select localdisk the image is stored on both
the datastore location and also copied to the management node location.
When you select networkdisk the image is only stored in the datastore
location. If this is not correct I hope someone will correct me but this
is what I have seen and gather from the documentation.

Thanks Martin, I think I'm beginning to understand, I
think my error is because the
configuration I'm setting in the profile VMWare ESX - Local Storage I
did consideringthat the storage is local to the ESX but actually
refers to is for local ManagementNode ifI am correct then I
create a local
resource in my managementnode and share via NFSwith ESXi and the path
that I set in the profile is for the ManagementNode.

/install/vmware_images
 is the location on the management server where images are stored.
 Regarding the vmx file location, this is set under the VM path setting
 in the VM profile. I used the location /vmware on the ESXi server.
When
 a new vmx is created it creates a new directory of the virtual machine
 with the vmx file located in it.
 I think that is the setting that you may be missing. Hope that helps.

 Martin

Re: Problems with basic configuration

2011-02-11 Thread Marty Malinics

Take a look at the file
\managementnode\lib\VCL\Module\Provisioning\esx.readme under the install
folder. It may shed some light.
You need to set the datastore in your profile under Virtual Hosts. You
can create an nfs storage in vmware and point to that folder.

Martin

In the Virtual Host section I select the profile VMWare ESX - local
storage and in the path to the VM's wrote / vmfs/volumes/datastore1 /
but when creating a new base image on the process of determining if
exist *. vmdk an Error ocurrs

|image|VMware.pm:does_image_exist(2963)|failed to determine if file
exists in repository :
/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmwarewinxp-WinXPintento914-v0/vmwarewinxp-WinXPintento914-v0.vmdk,
output:
find: /vmfs/volumes/datastore1: No such file or directory

2 questions here I come, why the name of the *. vmdk is altered, since
the actual name does not include the -v0 adding at the end nor the
beginning vmwarewinxp? at the same time indicates that datastore path
is
not valid? which is the correct way you use to set the datastore? I'm
using VMWare ESXi v. 4.0 and VCL v 2.2

thanks in advance.

I'm trying to capture an image, but I have no access to datastorage I
guess it's the way I'm setting up, but I tried several ways and I can
not do it, anyone can give me an example ? I've tried using ESXi

/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/
datastore1/
/vmfs/UUID/datastore1/

then rename the datastore because I read the file esx.README and try to
replicate the structure suggests, but I still have the same error

Thanks. 
After I found the esx.readme file in one of the management node folders I was 
finally able to get an image going. It's been quite an adventure.

You would need to install the VMWare vSphere SDK on the management node.

Ok, I seemed to have solved the problems below. For the first one I did not 
have the management node assigned to a group.

For the second issue I saw that my virtual machine was not set up for vmware. 
It now tries to create the image but I think I must be missing a few perl 
modules as I now get

the following:

Hello,  I have VCL 2.2 setup on two Centos boxes (Web and database, and 
management) using ESXi 4.1. The management node can communicate with VMware 
host and guest using SSH. I am not sure the Web node is communicating with 
management though. I get the following message when trying to change the guest 
state:

The following computers currently have reservations on them but no functional 
management node was found for them. Nothing will be done with them at this

Is there a way to confirm communication to the management node?

There may be something I am missing as the documentation is sketchy. I am not 
sure if the image needs to be created via the web interface before capturing it 
or not.
 
Thanks for any help or pointers you can provide.
