Dear Ingo, It looks indeed like a permissions problem. Let's check.
* the id of oneadmin in the OpenNebula front-end and ESX is 10000? * can you do a "touch /vmfs/volumes/srvcloudonevar" in the ESX? Not sure about this, but you should try without the leading slash: vmkfstools -username root -password redhat123 -server esxi01 -i '[srvcloudonevar] images/disk.vmdk' -d thin '[srvcloudonevar] images/disk1.vmdk' Hope it helps -- Carlos Martín, MSc Project Engineer OpenNebula - The Open-source Solution for Data Center Virtualization www.OpenNebula.org | [email protected] | @OpenNebula<http://twitter.com/opennebula><[email protected]> On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 6:40 AM, Ingo Stieglitz <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I try to set up a test environment by following this guide: > http://cloudblab.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/opennebula-and-vmware-esxi5-0.pdf > So far everything is fine, but at page 19 I have a problem. > There is the instruction to convert a vmdk disk to a thin provisioned one > using this command: > > *vmkfstools -username root -password redhat123 -server esxi01 -i > '[srvcloudonevar] /images/disk.vmdk' -d* > *thin '[srvcloudonevar] /images/disk1.vmdk'* > > Of course I use my own password, own server (also tried IP) and own > datastore name for this.
