I've verified and tried everything you have mentioned. I also followed the steps in "esx.README" to make sure I configured everything ok, but I still get a failure. Good news is that the reservation doesn't stay stuck in "Pending" and actually returns as "Failed". I also do not see it complaining about the host name, but rather that it cannot "load" the VM.
Do you have any other suggestions on what other configurations I'm missing? *Log of Reservation:* > *2009-03-19 23:04:02|4359|137:4|new|esx.pm:load(166)|Entered ESX module, > loading esx3-lamp-v0 on esx3-lamp-v0_blade1 (on vclblade1) for reservation 4 > 2009-03-19 23:04:02|4359|137:4|new|esx.pm:load(176)|VM info command: > /usr/lib/vmware-viperl/apps/vm/vminfo.pl --server 'vclblade1' --vmname > esx3-lamp-v0_blade1 --username vcl --password 'd834jfhd734jgfhf7' > 2009-03-19 23:04:04|4359|137:4|new|vcld:REAPER(770)|setting $?
