Hi ,
I am trying to get a VCL standalone installation done and I am trying to
capture a linux image. But I am getting the following error in the VMware
perl tool kit files.
The problem is that at the entry point into the capture routine , hostname
and VMtype are getting detected proprely .i.e. vmguest-1 and vmwareGSX. But
at the end, when the power off status is being determined, it tries to get
the vm paths and there the hostname is getting retrieved as 1vmguest-1 and
vmguest-1.
if you actually look into the code of get_vm_paths in vmware.pm, it says
# If GSX use image name
if ($vmtype_name =~ /(vmware|vmwareGSX)$/) {
$vmdk_name = $image_name;
}
* # If ESX use requestid+shortname
elsif ($vmtype_name =~ /(vmwareESX3)/) {
$vmdk_name = "$reservation_id$computer_short_name";
}*
vmtype_name is getting detected as vmware ESX and from then on, hostname and
vmdk files are getting renamed as 1vmguest-1 and so on.... I wanted to know
if I am missing something here or is it because of some incorrect setting

(#1)
(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation
you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes
your
program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily
appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is
usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to
the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your
program.
