Just a quick note to confirm that I got the VM deployments with the
vda-service to run well today.
One nit-pick on the VDA Cookbook ,
(http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/VDA_Cookbook)
it does not tell you to create the "Templates" folder beside the
Pools - folders.
and it does not tell you to move your golden image to the Templates
folder that is presupposed by the shipped vda.properties config file.

Hi again,
Right , So I Probably have created the Pools In the wrong place
. My Bad Pools are visable in the hosts and Clusters View.
I will try to create them in the VM&T view tomorrow. I
searched the SQL database tables and at the moment I do have
the pools under /datacenter/hosts/... that is a fact. Its also
interesting to learn that the views in the VI client corresponds to
the the branches of the vmware resource tree.
Thanks both Cyrille and Dirk for showing me where I went down the
wrong branch.

Hi Lars,
I found out the hard way today that the path names to the
resource Pools in the vda.properties file
can become rather long vinded.
/datacenter_name/host/cluster_name/Resources/Pool
/datacenter_name/host/cluster_name/Resources/Pool-Kiosk
was the end result of the investigation . This was using the
newly released ESX 3.02 VI-center 2.01 combo.
These paths look wrong (not that you won't have long winded paths
even with the right ones, though). The pool folders should be in the
Virtual Machines & Templates view, not in the Hosts & Clusters one.
The VM&T view is represented in path terms with the prefix
/<datacenter>/vm, while the H&C view is represented with
/<datacenter>/host.
So you should have just one path in your vda.properties starting with
/<datacenter>/host, which is the cluster path
(/<datacenter>/host/<cluster>), and a bunch of paths for your pool
folders and their templates looking like /<datacenter>/vm/<pool> and
/<datacenter>/vm/<template>.
I am also having a problem with the vda-service that I dont
understand yet.
The vda-service in the VI-center machine thats trying to use
http://localhost/sdk is reporting in the log file that it cant
find the method "CreateFolder"
I assume this is some sort of misconfiguration I have done that
the "vda-service test" script does not find or check for.
At least the SDK programming guide for VI center 2.01 states
that the " CreateFolder" method is supposed to be there.
anyone got a clue ?
That looks strange indeed, but might be related to the fact that your
paths are not correct, as I indicated above. I didn't check, but it's
possible that the "Resources" sub-path you're pointing to doesn't
allow the creation of sub-folders (such as Pool or Pool-Kiosk), and
thus you're getting that error. Please try again with the correct
paths, and if it still doesn't work, please give us the full stack
information for the error which appears in the log and we'll try and
see what's going wrong.
Thanks,
Cyrille
