Ok, our lab already had DNS capabilities, so I've set esxibl1-3* *to be valid hostnames*.
*However, it is still saying it can't find "esxibl1". I've pinged that hostname from another machine on the same network and it works just fine. Also because it kept saying it couldn't load the VM, I've found another problem. The vmdk file successfully copies over into the "inuse" folder. When I manually add that VM to a blade, I'm noticing that the VM does not keep the network setings. I watched someone actually create this VM and I redid it myself, and the settings do not stay when its copied over. Not sure if it's related, but thought I might mention it. * 2009-03-24 04:28:57|24815|143:10|new|esx.pm:load(300)|wrote vmxarray to /mnt/vcl/inuse/esx3-lamp-v0-bl1/esx3-lamp-v0.vmx 2009-03-24 04:28:59|24815|143:10|new|vcld:REAPER(770)|setting $? to 0, exit status: 0 2009-03-24 04:28:59|24815|143:10|new|esx.pm:load(321)|Registered: |24815|143:10|new| No host found with name esxibl1. 2009-03-24 04:28:59|24815|143:10|new|esx.pm:load(330)|Power on command: /usr/lib/vmware-viperl/apps/vm/vmcontrol.pl --server 'esxibl1' --vmname esx3-lamp-v0-bl1 --operation poweron --username vcl --password 'd834jfhd734jgfhf7' 2009-03-24 04:29:00|24815|143:10|new|vcld:REAPER(770)|setting $? to 0, exit status: 0 2009-03-24 04:29:00|24815|143:10|new|esx.pm:load(333)|Powered on: Virtual Machine esx3-lamp-v0-bl1 not found. 2009-03-24 04:29:01|24815|143:10|new|vcld:REAPER(770)|setting $? to 0, exit status: 0 2009-03-24 04:29:01|24815|143:10|new|vcld:REAPER(770)|setting $? to 0, exit status: 0 2009-03-24 04:29:01|24815|143:10|new|utils.pm:mail(1281)|SUCCESS -- Sending mail To: r...@localhost, PROBLEM -- esx.pm |24815|143:10|new| ---- CRITICAL ---- |24815|143:10|new| 2009-03-24 04:29:01|24815|143:10|new|esx.pm:load(341)|Could not query for VM in VI PERL API |24815|143:10|new| ( 0) utils.pm, notify (line: 683) |24815|143:10|new| (-1) esx.pm, load (line: 341) |24815|143:10|new| (-2) new.pm, reload_image (line: 664) |24815|143:10|new| (-3) new.pm, process (line: 266) |24815|143:10|new| (-4) vcld, make_new_child (line: 606) |24815|143:10|new| (-5) vcld, main (line: 353) |24815|143:10|new| ---- WARNING ---- |24815|143:10|new| 2009-03-24 04:29:01|24815|143:10|new|new.pm:reload_image(669)|esx3-lamp-v0 failed to load on esx3-lamp-v0-bl1, returning |24815|143:10|new| ( 0) utils.pm, notify (line: 683)* On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 7:12 PM, Josh Thompson <josh_thomp...@ncsu.edu>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Thu March 19 2009 5:45:40 pm Brian Bouterse wrote: > > always fake the DNS resolution by placing an entry /etc/resolv.conf > > That would be /etc/hosts :) > > Josh > - -- > - ------------------------------- > Josh Thompson > Systems Programmer > Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) > North Carolina State University > > josh_thomp...@ncsu.edu > 919-515-5323 > > my GPG/PGP key can be found at www.keyserver.net > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFJwt9xV/LQcNdtPQMRAiekAJ9Sna6on6gIZC8fO/1wKWFw9W3zIQCffxLj > nKgBCGnhdhToNQ0EtzLhRC8= > =Yjph > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >
