Sysprep Winxp

[Hartl, Gerhard L.]

Aside from the sysprep files that are copied to the mgmt server and editing the 
sysprep.inf, what else is required for sysprep to function?

Re: sshd is NOT active on vmguest-41 yet

[Andy Kurth]

From the log output you included, it looks like the SSH commands are only 
working from the management node to the VM host vclesx02.  The management node 
sends commands to both the VM host computer and the VM.  It doesn't look like 
SSH is working to the VM vmguest-41.


I would log in to vmguest-41 via the VMware console in order to troubleshoot. 
Check the following:

-Did the VM get a private IP address via DHCP?
-Is the SSHD service running?
-What error do you get if you run a command manually from the management node to 
the VM such as: 'ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key vmguest-41 ls'


If you get SSH working on the private interface, I would double-check that the 
external sshd service is working correctly since you're using Ubuntu.  Check if 
you have the problem discussed in this thread:

Hope this helps,
Andy

I am working with an Ubuntu image and cannot resolve this error.  Looking at 
the vcld.log file, I find ssh commands are working when accessing the 
vmguest-41 computer.  Below is a snippet of the log.  There has to be something 
real simple I have forgot to check.
