Re: Change image timeout

Would it be possible to configure xCAT to store the images in /opt/image/x86? The VCL xCAT code really needs the image path to contain a 3rd component because it determines where the images reside as follows: managementnode.installpath/OS.sourcepath/image.architecture If you can configure xCAT to use /opt/image/x86, then managementnode.installpath should be set to /opt and I believe the path should be constructed correctly.

Where does the partimage .gz file reside? If it actually resides in '/storage/image/x86' then change the Install Path setting to 'storage'. The .tmpl file residing in this directory may indicate another problem with the xCAT root path. Where is xCAT installed and which version of xCAT are you using? Search your log file for 'xCAT root path found:'. What path does this line contain?

Re: Linux base image creation
Hello,
I realize I worded the last message poorly. I meant to run ps to list the sshd
processes so you could see the command that was used to start them. This would
tell you whether or not the -f options was being used when ext_ssh was started.
The problems you are seeing are mainly with the ext_ssh file. The
instructions were written for Redhat and need to be reworked for Ubuntu because
its service startup scripts have a different structure.
I took a look at an Ubuntu installation. There is no OPTIONS variable in
/etc/init.d/ssh so the OPTIONS= line you added has no effect. Instead, it
uses a SSHD_OPTS variable. Find the init-functions line and add the following
line after it:
SSHD_OPTS=-f /etc/ssh/external_sshd_config
Change all sshd.pid strings to ext_sshd.pid. The following sed command
should work:
sed -i -r -e s/(ext_)?sshd\.pid/ext_sshd.pid/g /etc/init.d/ext_ssh
I have attached a script I used to configure sshd on my Ubuntu test image. It's
pretty raw but it works for me. Please reply if you have any problems with it.
I'll update the documentation with this script if it's working properly.
Hope this helps,
Andy

Thanks Andy for the response!
After stopping all the SSH services, I restarted the external ssh by the
command
/etc/init.d/ext_ssh start
and as you said, ext_ssh is listening on the private IP address.
I am attaching the ssh, ext_ssh and external_ssh_config files.
Also the output for command used to start the external sshd process:
ps -ef | grep sshd
is not as you said.
Hope this helps to figure out the problem!

Re: VCL 2.2 with VMware Server 2.x or ESXi 4.x
This is just an update. I have not committed the updated VMware code yet. I have been trying to find out if there is any way for VCL to manage the latest free version of ESXi. I don't think this will be possible. Once a free license code is entered and the host leaves evaluation mode, most functions result in a RestrictedVersion fault. The new code should work on ESX, Server 2.x, and ESXi if it is licensed or in evaluation mode. I need to tidy some things up before committing, hopefully this week. -Andy Jose Higino wrote: Thanks Andy, I was trying to get a try this week next week will be out of schedule for me.. but nice to know about.. i will ramp up with that 3 weeks from now.
