Hello,
I was able to successfully capture a base image.
I have added the image to the image group.
However, when I try to make a reservation, or create a new image,
It eventually fails. I watch the VM server and see that a new VM was started.
It does start a new VM with the correct MAC addresses,
That¹s great. Looking forward to the new release.
But how were you able to manage new images before?
Does the problem not exist in other Linux distros ?

Hello,
First of all, thanks for all your help so far.

Hello everybody,
I was able to solve the problem with the SSH session closing immediately. The
issue was SELINUX. There was no security profile for the newly created user on
the VCL image, so SELINUX closed the session. Just disabling SELINUX on the
base image solved the issue.

Hello,
I recently switched my Management Node to set static IP for the public network.
I captured a new base image successfully, but when I try to make a reservation,
it fails with the error message "cannot update private IP". This is confusing
me, because it uses dhcp for the private network.
Interestingly, the reservation fails for a linux base image, but succeeds for a
Windows base image.
Do I need to do something different for Linux base images ?

Ok, I created a Windows XP image. All updates and Microsoft antivirus installed.
I installed and setup Cygwin to ssh. I setup the ssh keys with the genkeys

I turned on and allowed remote desktop, and was able to RDP to the image before

It appears that subsequent Windows XP reservations DO work with RDP.
Apparently, it was just the first reservation that had a problem.
Have a happy holiday everybody.
