Josh, I reviewed the stuff again last night and noticed I did receive an email regarding the completion of image creation (below).
I have added the base image to the group when I was attempting to go onto the next step. I will try your suggestion when I get into the office. Got a question first :) 1) I no longer see the original VM from the host (process removed it). I am guessing the repository and virtual disk paths with the image (vmdk) will be used? Looks like the log says it got renamed during the process Currently, those vmkds give me the option to manually to inflate, but I am not touching it yet :) Also on the VCL GUI, the VM is in a "reload" state. email notice: Subject: VCL -- Lexus Image Creation Succeeded To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Message-Id: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 21:51:35 -0700 (PDT) On Fri, Jul 12, 2013 at 5:51 AM, Josh Thompson <[email protected]>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Toan, > > Yes, according to your log, you have successfully captured an image! > Congratulations on getting that done. :) Once VCL has finished capturing > an image, it attempts to load that same image back on to the same node from > which it was captured.
