Really need some help here ...
Hi, I have been trying to build either RPMs or DEB packages for Cloudstack 4.0.2 with VMWare enabled, but have been unsuccessful. I can build successfully using Maven (mvn -P deps -D nonoss) but the DEB/RPM build processes apparently rebuild on their own without using the artifacts created by the Maven build. We are currently using the Cloudstack 3.0.2 version, but want to take advantage of the latest features available with 4.0.2. Can anyone please help? Is there a way to install what is being built for DEB/RPMs and then manually modify that installed Cloudstack 4.0.2 environment to support VMWare? Regards, --Jim L.

Hi Jim, So while I am happy to help you build those packages, do you really need to build them yourself? Wido's yum repo has packages with VMware support (I can't speak for the debs, I don't think 4.0.2 is there yet) http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/rhel/4.0/ --David

Hi David, I know Wido's DEBs do not have VMWare support (at least, the last time I tried to used them). I'll give the RPM's a try, however. In the meantime: is there additional documentation/wiki/back of a napkin that explains how to build DEB or RPM packages with VMWare support? I would like to have that ability if I decide to write additional plugins for some projects I'm working on. I did try to hand-roll an installation on Ubuntu by taking the 3.0.2 version I have now and using that as a template to modify the 4.0.2 /etc/cloud/management/components.xml file, adding the adapters VMWare Discoverer and VMWare HypervisorGuru to the config. I also added the /usr/share/java/cloud-plugins directory with the VMWare base and hypervisor jars ( in addition to the vmware-vim25.jar, vmware-apputils,jar, etc., files), but I encountered numerous classpath/missing jar issues. I (think I) finally resolved those, but the VMwareGuru component will not instantiate/initialize, so I put all of that on hold until I could get some help. So, I'll give Wido's repo a try on CentOS but it would be great to know how to do this on my own as well and would prefer Ubuntu if possible. Thanks for responding. Regards, --Jim L.

Chip, I'll do that. Thanks for the info. Regards, --Jim L.

Look at the 4.1 branch copy and note the env variable I added to support optional mvn flags during the packaging's build step.
