Re: base image creation
Jay, Sorry - I realized I should have elaborated more on the errors in the log file. First of all welcome to the community. :) VCL with vmware provisioning can interact with the ESX(i) server in a couple different ways. The first error below is related to the vcl using the vmware sdk perl tookit, for this you'll need to set the password for the ESXi server in the vmware profile in through the vcl web interface. The second is also related to the sdk perl toolkit, from what I can tell it looks like it's not installed on your management node. The third error is related to the next method that vcl will try to manage vms on esxi, it's trying to ssh into the esxi server and run local cmds such as vmware-vim-cmd to manage the vms. This latter method is probably the best approach, if you can make sure you have ssh enabled on esxi and have your ssh identity keys setup. Then you should get further. Again welcome and I apologize for the initial short response. Aaron Peeler On 2/4/11 7:46 AM, Aaron Peeler wrote: Can you also ssh into the esxi server using identity keys?

Re: SDK can not connect to VMWare
It looks like the username and possibly the password aren't configured in the VM profile: unable to connect to VM host: https://myserver:8333/sdk, username: '0', error: The username and password are currently required to use the vSphere SDK. Otherwise, SSH must be enabled on the VM host and an identity key configured. Regarding VMware licensing, VCL works using the free ESXi license as long as SSH is enabled. The vSphere SDK can only be used if the VMware host is using a commercial license or running in evaluation mode. The vSphere SDK and other methods provided by VMware are crippled when the free license code is applied. -Andy Mauricio César Ramírez Torres wrote: Another question requires a specific license from VMWare to use with the SDK?

There are a few reasons why the connection may fail. It could be an incorrect URL, incorrect username/password, or the version of the SDK installed on the management node isn't compatible with the version on the VM host. I may be able to tell based on the log output.

I also want to know if any of you would be interested in supporting me to finish my installation properly, and if you are interested please say as it would be the approximate cost. - Antes de imprimir este correo electrónico, piensa bien si es imprescindible hacerlo.

Re: SDK can not connect to VMWare
Put the same password on all computers involved and working, probably wrong password, but now I have another problem, when I imported the image is not mistakes; then add the image to a group, but when trying to create a reservation I mark the following : there is an update to the database I need? or need to run a script. Thanks for your help.
