I've put in some more debugging into the esx.pm module. This
should print the registration command to the screen so that it can
be tried to run manually. Can you update to the latest code
version and try it? I've written a how-to located here.

Actually everything you've mentioned has been put into place.
The nameserver entry is in /etc/resolv.conf and all the esxibl1-3
hostnames
are in the /etc/hosts.
I can connect to the blades by putting esxibl1-3 into VIClient
without a
problem.
Note: /etc/resolv.conf is generated by /sbin/dhclient-script; once
network/vm is rebooted it restores original.
I also restarted the networking and went as far as to reboot the
VCL VM and
still it gives me the same error.

I'm still suspicious of your DNS resolution and configuration.
In addition
to creating the DNS entries in your lab's DNS server, did you
connect VCL to
that DNS by creating an entry similar to the one below in the
/etc/resolv.conf on your VCL management node?
nameserver <ip_of_your_DNS_here>
Can you connect with virtual center to the blade you're trying to
provision
to when referencing it strictly by it's hostname?
If you want to remove DNS resolution from the list of possible
culprits,
you can create an entry in /etc/hosts of your VCL management node
similar to
the line below. I think that should work.
<IP Address of esxib1> esxibl1.
Remember to restart networking (or the whole VCL management node)
when
testing these configuration changes.

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.
