Problem in using IP - 192.168.128.0
Hi, I am installing VCL on my laptop for an academic project. So there is a VMware server running which spawns a VM with an IP address "192.168.128.0". When i try to enter this IP in the vmguest computer profile, it throws an error saying "*Invalid IP address. Must be w.x.y.z with each of w, x, y, and z being between 1 and 255 (inclusive)" Can anybody suggest how to go about this problem? Hence im stuck with not being able to create the Base image. -Vishnu *

Unable to create Base Image
Hello,
I am installing VCL (Standalone system). When trying to create the Base
image, it throws up a few errors and also pops up an OpenSSH box and asks me
to put the password for 'vcluser'. Could anyone help with this?

Standalone system
Hello, So i installed the standalone VCL on my laptop and i get the reservation for a Virtual Machine. However i have a couple of doubts. Could someone pls clarify them? I am not sure if its working as expected. 1. I created a VM (VM1)and a corresponding image in the database. When the reservation succeeds, VCL still spawns a new VM (VM2) and returns the IP address of the Bridged interface of VM1. Why does it spawn a new VM and if it did, why is it returning the address of the VM1? 2. When it spawns the new VM (VM2), (there existed no other VM files other than that of VM1), the VM2 is not an exact replica of VM1 ( i mean the configurations such as the SSH, network interfaces, etc). Why is this happening, from where is VCL getting these files for the new VM from? Please somebody clarify. Thanks, Vishnu
Re: VCL2.2.1 undefined index error
Hello Kelly, I saw this error sometime before when i was trying something with my Standalone setup. I think what the error means is, it is not able to find the corresponding Database entry. So what i would do is check the following. 1. Is the VM/Computer which is being used as the allocated computer, mapped to a valid image entry in the DB? 2. If it is mapped to the correct entry, have you made a Image revision entry for the corresponding image? I maybe wrong, somebody can correct me if i am. -Vishnu On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 11:36 AM, Kelly Robinson wrote: > We're working on a new install of VCL2.2.1 and are getting an error > message when we try to make a reservation.

Re: Standalone system
Hi again, Also let me add another problem i observed. After the reservation, the IP address of the Vm allocated is changed to the bridged IP address (i set it to be the hostonly Ip before). -Vishnu On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 11:54 PM, Vishnu D H wrote: > Hello, > > So i installed the standalone VCL on my laptop and i get the reservation > for a Virtual Machine.
