I am the original author of this work and am extremely disappointed that it has been dis-included from the release process. It is very well tested, and was proven to work. As an open source project, it is very *unfair* to selectively overlook contributions that have been made out in the open and according to the process.
This is an example of why the VCL commit and release process is broken.

Since the current active committers don't have a way to test and validate it, we had to drop it from the 2.1.1 version. If I recall correctly, this module was created as a proof of concept to test how fast VCL could provision thousands of vms on the higher end netapp storage arrays at the NetApp DataCenter here in NC. If your interested in maintaining it, we'd love to discuss bringing you in as an official committer. Just let us know if your interested.

I have been able to get it working properly after a bit of tinkering, as things like multi core provisioning was not included in the version I currently have, however I would like to stick to a tried and true version. > > If it hasn't been updated in awhile, I'd be happy to add a fews lines in it. > > - Gerhard > Old Dominion University | occs.odu.edu > > -- Aaron Peeler Program Manager Virtual Computing Lab NC State University All electronic mail messages in connection with State business which are sent to or received by this account are subject to the NC Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties. -- Brian Bouterse ITng Services
