I had this same error a few days ago, but for a windows xp image. I solved this issue by creating a soft link, but I'm going to recopy what Brian wrote to me:
Do you have a public/private key pair in your /etc/vcl/ directory? > VCL Keys are configured in vcld.conf with lines that look like these: IDENTITY_blade_linux=/etc/vcl/bladelinuxkey_id_rsa IDENTITY_solaris_lab=/etc/vcl/solaris_lab.key IDENTITY_linux_lab=/etc/vcl/linux_lab.key IDENTITY_blade_win=/etc/vcl/winxp_blade.key Usually in my installations I create symbolic links in the /etc/vcl/ directory for things like winxp_blade.key pointing to the /root/.ssh/id_rsa If you did such a thing for winxp_blade.key, the public key corresponding to /root/.ssh/id_rsa needs to be placed in the windows vm in your cygwin area which provides windows with SSH. If the private key is named id_rsa, usually the public key is in the same directory and named id_rsa.pub On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 3:21 PM, Augustus, Kris <august...@ecu.edu> wrote: > I am trying to make a reservation on a new install of VCL but the > reservation keeps failing.
