I appear to be sneaking up on it... However image capture failed again.
I am enclosing an excerpt from the log. Not sure what the problem is but it
appears that it found a vmdk when it didn't expect to find one. This may be
due to my misconfiguration of the VMHost - local storage. I specified the

The first one means you have to have computer nodes and the exsi host
added to the vcl database.
The vcld --setup tool pulls the target node and esxi host information
from the database.

Also I see vm-1 is in maintenance mode -
go to your Virtual Hosts tool on the VCL portal,
select the host - click the configure host
add vm-1 to esxi-host-1
The image capture process
It depends. I don't recall if the image capture request out right

originally for the VM host profile as that is what we used during the
bootcamp but the paths are wrong (e.g., /vmfs/volumes/local-datastore vs
/vmfs/volumes/datastore1). I can edit the profile but in reality it should
be VMware ESX -
You'll need to use mysql or phpmyadmin to change an active host's vmprofile.
The profile is assigned in the vmhost
Get the id from the vmprofile table - the VMware ESX - local storage
profile is id 4
The update the vmhost table for that host.
