Dear List,
What is the status of the xCAT support for having machines inside of VB?
After reading the docs I was able to get a small demo setup running, though
the vbox SOAP API seems to have changed too much for xCAT's vbox plugins.
I've encountered
A quick note of my setup:
The machine `master` is running the xcatd and machines node{01,02,03} are
setup through the vm table and I generally followed the VirtualBox
step-by-step guide. When trying to run rpower this is the output I get:
master:~ # rpower vbox status
Error: node01: VM node01 not known by the web service @
http://192.168.56.1:18083/.
Error: node02: VM node02 not known by the web service @
http://192.168.56.1:18083/.
Error: node03: VM node03 not known by the web service @
http://192.168.56.1:18083/.
master:~ #
Any idea of that should even work?!
Thanks,
P

On VirtualBox these VMs are defined:

the vboxwebsrv services shows the attempted communication from the master
node and this is the Wireshark output from the communication. Note that
authentication has been disabled by setting the vboxwebsrvauthlib to 'null'.
