Newly created image reload failing on sandbox
Hi All,
I made an imaging reservation on the sandbox image and the image got created
but that new image cant be reloaded on any computer.
I am getting an error.
VMControl error -16: Virtual machine requires user input to continue
I am not sure as to what input I need to provide and I tried few means for
login to the virtual machine but i think I have no access.
I just read online that restarting the virtiual machine might help.. Any
ideas..?
Below is the detailed log when I try to make a reservation on the newly
created image.

Hello, I entered the command from the command line and got the output as shown: [r...@bn18-113 ~](vmhost1)# vmware-cmd /var/lib/vmware/runningvms/vmwarelinux-test12-v0vm1/vmwarelinux-test12-v0vm1.vmx answer Question (id = 981054133) :Cannot open the disk '/var/lib/vmware/images/vmwarelinux-test12-v0/vmwarelinux-test12-v0.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

You'll either need to create a new local account for this or use one of the
existing ones. Either way, you'll need to add the numeric id from the user
table for that user to the $xmlrpcBlockAPIUsers array in conf.php.

Re: Block reservation failing on sandbox image
Thanks for the input Cliff.. !
But somehow I think I am setting some parameters wrong or I am missing some
information about settings..
To summarize,
xmlrpc_username=ad...@local
xmlrpc_pass=vclpasswordXXX
xmlrpc_url=https://152.46.20.182/index.php?mode=xmlrpccall
The username and pasword above is same as what I use to login in vcl web
page..
Also, I changed the conf.php file
$xmlrpcBlockAPIUsers = array(1,2,3 # vclsystem
);
But still I am not getting a block reservation processed. I chose the start
time at an interval of 4hrs to check if thats the problem. But no help! Do I
need to insert anything xmlrpckey table?
Please advice..!

Kiran,
A friendly reminder that caught me when getting XMLRPC to work,
remember to add the affiliation to the end of the
xmlrpc_username.
So if you are using the vclsystem user, xmlrpc_username should
be vclsys...@local
Good luck with getting those to work. I'm in a similar boat, at
the moment.

Re: Reg: JIRA issue VCL-202
Josh,
Are there any updates on setting up 2 desktops/laptops/blades so that i can
set up the VCL for testing.
Also, as suggested by Aaron the perl code has been changed to some extent so
has anyone incorporated Milen's changes to new version for connecting to
Derby database.
Please let me know since I am willing to test the VCL code with derby and I
need the updated perl modules.

Really, just about all of the web code could be tested using two desktops
or
even laptops. You would just need to install the web, database, and
management node software on one, and vmware free server and some VMs on the
other. That would at least be easier than finding and setting up blade
servers.

In case there is no other option then I would be needing a set of blades

Meanwhile, in case anyone else has known of a better option pls suggest.

Kiran,
Unfortunately, we don't actually have a default set of images
available.
The
entries that come in the image table are there as examples for when
people are
creating their own base images. We probably should remove them and put
examples online somewhere instead. What do others on the list think
about this?
We don't currently have a good solution for the fact that you really
need
a full VCL install to do much useful development, and doing a full
install isn't
a simple thing.

The plan sounds good to me since there are actually lot of code

its important we document that correctly.
I have a suggestion that while we are waiting for that , there are
few
things I need access to:
There are some set of default images in database image table. I
wanted
to initiate the process of making a reservation on any one of those
images. I needed that to test New reservation, Block reservation. So,
in case
there
is any captured image which is used by VCL for testing purposes
please
let
me know.This would in turn also need some computer table entries too.
Overall, I would be needing some additional test data for me to test
all the php files.
Please let me know what can be done on that!
Also I have submitted the ICLA form
http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas
.
Please let me know if there is anything else I am supposed to do!
Any suggestions are welcome!

Wow - that's a lot of changes. We're in need of more committers,
and

sounds like you've done a lot of work already. So, this could be
very beneficial.
As I read this, I realized we (the Apache VCL community) don't have
any guidelines in place for contributing modifications that affect
large portions
of the code. I just composed another message to this list titled
guidelines
for contributing large modifications to establish some guidelines.
Before discussing your contributions further, lets wait on that

Re: Reg: JIRA issue VCL-202
Aaron, I am not very familiar with the back end code yet but what I can understand from what you are saying is that the perl files have changed due to changes in the database side and they need to be tested again. rite? So, does that mean that I cant test the php front end completely along with the reservation process till the back end is fixed and updated? If yes, i wil try to look into that and see how extensive are the changes. Josh, you said that 2 computers would be sufficient to do the testing part. So, can that be setup at your end for me to start testing the code. On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 9:06 AM, Aaron Peeler aaron_pee...@ncsu.edu wrote: On 6/2/10 2:15 PM, Kiran N wrote: Thank you Josh!

But to clarify, yes there are a number of sql statements on the backend perl side. The previous work that Milan did for the backend is likely not working anymore to support derby, as the schema and the backend datastructure has changed/extended since he worked on it. Which highlights the issue of continued support for this multiple databases and that we need to backup and bit and really design this out on the best way to build in support for multiple databases. If I mis-read the question/statement, please let me know.

Re: [mentors] guidelines for contributing large modifications

Since the changes are huge, do we maintain different revisions of the complete code or just the changed modules are recorded/maintained. Also, what would be the procedure for the testing of the submitted code. Do we have anything called as unit test plans anywhere in the repository? If yes, that would be helpful..!

I added [mentors] to the subject to help our mentors know it is of particular importance for them to read.) After reading Reg: JIRA issue VCL-202 by Kiran N sent on May 28, I realized we need some guidelines for contributing large modifications to the project. This is the general work flow I'd like to see happen for large modifications. Please provide comments and suggestions. Everyone's input is welcome (and desired) -- if you are interested in becoming a committer, this would be a great place to step up involvement. (1) State on the vcl-dev list what modification you'd like to make. Some background on why the existing codebase doesn't work in your situation would be useful. Remember, when you modify existing code, it affects work being done by other contributors, which can result in imposing additional work on them. (2) Propose a plan on the vcl-dev list for making the modification. There may be others that want the same modification or something similar that can be incorporated at the same time. Those people can help develop the modification. On the other hand, the modification may have a very negative affect on some other part of the project. Also, this provides an opportunity for existing contributors (those who know the codebase well) to provide input on your plan. The plan needs to include how the modification will be maintained in the future - will you continue to maintain it; will existing contributors have to pick it up and maintain it? (3) Create a JIRA issue to track implementation of the plan and start developing. This provides a way for others to track work being done on the modification and ensures information about the modification will be added to the CHANGELOG when the next release is cut.

- Apart from this in the code there are some small changes like
DATA_FORMAT() , UNIX_TIMESTAMP() functions is not recognized in derby.
So they have been changed accordingly. I am working on a document to
provide the complete list of changes between mysql and derby from the
PHP
front end code perspective.
- Regarding connecting PHP to Apache derby, db2 runtime client with
ibm_db2 extension is used. PDO_ODBC is the data access interface for
PHP
which compiles directly against DB2 librraries for native access to
DB2.
PHP is complied with ibm_db2 extension and configured accordingly.
Please
refer to below links for better understanding.

I am working on providing more explanatory documents which would help
doing
the setup for testing and checking the connection of PHP with derby but
this is the initial idea that i shared. Presently, I have done the setup
and working on the PHP front end code. I will be sharing that also with
you probably sometime next week.
Please provide me feedback and suggestions on this! Let me know for any
questions.

But when I try to make more than one reservation, the second machine (vcl02)boots up but I see an IP address conflict (in VI client).Hence this machine is unable to be assigned an IP. When seen in vcld.log I can see that sshd is not active on vcl02. Also, I cannot see the VCL folder in the path C:\cygwin\home\root on the vmguest machines. Does it indicate that the files are not copied over to that machine during image capture? Is this the problem for the issue above. Please suggest! -- Thanks, Kiran
Re: Problem with ssh on the vmguest machine
Hello All, I am able to make a reservation now on the windows image. The problem was with the cygwin configuration.I reinstalled it and it worked fine! Just in case this is helpful to anyone what I analyzed was: In case there are multiple accounts on your machine , then make sure the root account has admin access and install cygwin by logging into as root user. Thanks again to all for all the help. I have few more sysprep installation steps to follow.. I hope I face less obstacles hereafter.. :) On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 5:29 PM, Kiran N kiran.nellima...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you Andy !

The root account is a normal Windows account in the Administrators group. The instructions/scripts do apply to all versions of Windows. You can create the root account via the GUI or run: net user root /ADD net user root password net localgroup Administrators root /ADD Once the account is created, logout and login as root. Follow the steps on this page: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4589006 I would uninstall Cygwin and reinstall it per the instructions since your image had it preinstalled. I don't think there is an uninstaller. You can just delete C:\cygwin. Also, it's important to be logged in as root whenever Cygwin SSHD is configured so that the permissions and ownership get configured correctly. -Andy Brian Copcea wrote: Hi Ryan- Thanks for writing. Those scripts should have been run, but I can't say for sure that everything was done (I configured this a while back and thought I had been thorough but obviously wasn't somewhere!). We'll check that definitely, but I think the problems is due to having a pre-installed and pre-configured Cygwin that came with the image we inherited to use, and trying to get the proper users, permissions and ssh configuration set.

I thought that I had configured a new root user for that Windows image and for cygwin and installed the proper scripts into the home space of the root user of cygwin. However, I must have missed a step or many steps or all of them ;) Andy, perhaps you could detail the process of creating a new root user for Windows and getting that root user properly configured in Cygwin? When I did it, I used tutorials found on Google and such to help out, but that could be what messed things up (I'm still puzzled by other things not existing now on the image though). Maybe you have something from a previous e-mail you can cut and paste for us so you don't have to spend a lot of time typing that out.

Thanks Andy! I did have to manually start the cygwin SSHD service and I did not get any credentials error when I started up. It logged me in as watcher(so its configured to that I guess when vm starts up). When I checked for root account couldnt find one in /home directory. Also the /etc/passwd files are different when compared between vmhost win2003 machine and the new vmguest?(vcl01,which starts up when I make a reservation).

Could be something wrong with the .vmx file.
My first thought is to check the drive type - ide or scsi. esx doesn't
support ide drive types and any new computers added in have hda as the
default value in the database schema.
Could you share that portion of the vmx file?

Hello,
I resolved the SSH error, but now facing a new issue. By seeing the log I
think that the reservation process is failing in the last due to error :
VMControl error -999: Unknown error: The poweron operation failed

Please check the vcld log file below and let me know if anyone has a
solution for this error.
Thanks in advance..!
