Will ESXi 5.0 and VCL 2.2.1 work well together. Could please send VM host profile which is assigned to vclnode01 host? What do you have for 'Data Store Path' and 'VM path'? On vclnode01 host, where do you map datastore1 and datastore2? I think 'Data Store Path' and 'VM path' in the profile

Hi Aaron, Do you recall if install_perl_libs.pl complained about any missing modules when you installed the management node code? I'm not sure if this applies to your situation, but in all of my VCL 2.2.1 installs I've had to make some adjustments to get all the needed PERL modules installed

Up to this point, I have been following the documentation exactly, so I have configured the machine to use SSH and I have configured the VMhost using the second link below. Since your suggestion, I am attempting to work with the vsphere SDK. I am having trouble with some of the dependencies

Given that your VMhost is called vsphere, is it safe to assume that you plan to use the vSphere API to access the host? If that is the case, you need to make sure that the vSphere SDK for perl is installed. According to your logfile, the perl libraries are either not installed or not in perl's

It sounds like the issue is related to the communication between the management node and the VMware host. That, at least, is what the attached logs reflect. It is also unclear whether you are trying to access the VM Host via the vSphere API or via SSH. If it is the former, make sure that the

Aaron The problem seems to be with your /etc/hosts file. 'cat /etc/hosts' failed with exit status 255, when exit status 0 is expected. B/c of this, vcl couldn't get private ip address and didn't attempt to connect to the host. I cannot think of any valid reasons why 'cat /etc/hosts' would
