Re: VCL Reservation Problem
an image, but telling it to use the same name as an existing image. I'll try to enumerate what you should check (I'll leave out the specifics for the parts that have already been mentioned). - -image is in an image group - -image group is mapped to a computer group - -computer group contains computers in the available state - -you have an active management node (it is updating lastcheckin in the management node table) - -management node is in a management node group - -management node group maps to a computer group containing specified computer from above - -schedule for computer is available during the selected time - -platform for image matches platform of computer - -privileges set up in Privileges section of site to allow you to access image and computer - -specs of image (min RAM, min CPU speed, etc) are at or less than specs of computer - -no other entries in the reservation table for the computer that overlap with the selected time period Let us know if you are still having trouble after checking the above list.

VCL Reservation Problem
How do you get VCL to allow an image to be requested? I've added the image to the database and would now like to request it through the web interface, however when you click New Reservation and select the image from the drop down menu, it gives a message that states Selection Not Currently Available. I've tried to manually insert a request into the database using the following sql statements, however the vcld.log gives error messages stating that the image already exists in the repository. What am I missing? = INSERT INTO `vcl`.`request` ( `id` , `stateid` , `userid` , `laststateid` , `logid` , `forimaging` , `test` , `preload` , `start` , `end` , `daterequested` , `datemodified` ) VALUES ( '1' , '16', '1', '16', '', '1', '0', '0', NOW( ) , TIMESTAMPADD(MINUTE, 120, NOW()), NOW( ) , NULL ); === === INSERT INTO `vcl`.`reservation` ( `id` , `requestid` , `computerid` , `imageid` , `imagerevisionid` , `managementnodeid` , `remoteIP` , `lastcheck` , `pw` ) VALUES ( NULL , '1', '2', '7', '7', '1', NULL , NULL , NULL ); === Thanks, Kelly Kelly P.

RE: VCL Reservation Problem
Kelly, Have you checked to see if the image is in the correct group/mapping yet? You need to go to image grouping and put the image in the correct group. Then you go to Image Mapping and make sure that that image group is mapped to your actual servers. Otherwise you will get a selection not currently available error. This is all done from the Manage Images section from an admin account. Aaron or Josh at NCSU may better know the issue if that isn't the problem you're having.
