RE: How to configure a new computing node?
Sorry for asking again. I suspect that the problem may be related to network setting. I don't understand why ssd on VM was not active. Is it possible that the IP address of VM is not correct? Any suggestions/hints would be very much appreciated!

Hello, Did you check su - Log in as root for the image you are working on Password: Turn on sshd by typing /etc/init.d/sshd start Got to the /etc/init.d/ then type chkconfig sshd on Have you made sure that you can ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key hostname or IP address ? I had this issue with ssh not kicking off before as well and it was a issue with the image itself. Another helpfull command to check would be ssh -vv (IP address) Have you logged into your box running VMware to see if you are getting a public and private ip address?

RE: How to configure a new computing node?
Hi Alex, Thanks for your suggestions! For the image, it works fine when it lauches on virtual hosts on existing nodes. The problem happens when it runs on a new node. I assume the sshd works fine on the image itself. I have set up the ssh key to allow the management node to log in the node successfully. After I log into the new node running VMware, I can see that my network eth0 and eth1 have private and public ip address. However, I found that I cann't ping my gateway from the node. Are there any settings I need to do?

Re: How to configure a new computing node?
I am posting this on behalf of Greg Duhon
I have one more suggestion to add. Verify that the networks are not
switched. In other words, is the public network on the private
interface or private network on the public interface. I can't tell
you how many times this one dinged us when we first started using VCL.

If you can't ping your gateway, it's either a network problem,
or a firewall problem.
Try pinging the gateway, and then dumping your arp table
('arp -an'). If you see the mac address for the gateway in
your arp table, it's probably a firewall issue. If the
mac address isn't there, it's a network problem

Aaron,
Thank you for your reply. I copied some log information as
follows. It looks like the VM was started, but sshd on the VM was
not active. The script looped and waited for half an hour and
failed at the end. The image works fine on existing blades. I
wonder if there is some configuration of VM server I didn't set
correctly for the new node.

RE: Windows 7 SP1 boot hangs
This solution looks very promising. I installed this hotfix and so far, it
doesn't seem to hang anymore. The image has reloaded at least 10 times now
without any problems. Hopefully it's resolved.
Thanks for finding that James.

Maybe it's just a windows thing. They came out with a hotfix for it
anyway.
Fix Windows 7 SP1 Slow Startup Due to Large Number of Restore Points
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fix-Windows-7-SP1-Slow-Startup-Due-to-Large-Number-of-Restore-Points-217883.shtml
“This issue occurs because the boot plan for the ReadyBoot feature exceeds
the size limit of 512 kilobytes (KB). Each restore point creates a snapshot
of Windows that Volsnap.sys must validate during the startup process,”
Microsoft explained.
But it doesn't explain why sometimes its fast and sometimes it's slow.
Maybe disabling ReadyBoot would help?

James,
Thanks for the suggestions. I've already increased the ssh timeout, however
this hang goes way beyond a reasonable amount of time, anywhere from 20-30
minutes.
I'll test with your dhcp suggestion. Although again, my Win7 images that
haven't been updated to SP1 are booting just fine, so I'm trying to figure
what got changed in the OS with the SP1 update that's causing this. One time
it might only spend 30 seconds at the Windows Starting screen, the next it
might be 10 minutes.

Subject: Re: Windows 7 SP1 boot hangs
I've got the same setup, and run into what looks to be the same
problem. ( Win7 booting taking so long that the ssh connection
times out )
I've done a couple things, and it seems to have gotten better.
1) adjust the ssh timeout from 5 to 10 minutes
/opt/vcl/lib/VCL/Module/OS.pm
'$ssh_response_timeout_seconds = 1200;'
Why is this hard coded anyway?
2) Turn off the WINS, and the netbios-over-tcp using settings in
the dhcp server to prevent the booting system from registering
with a WINS server, and from using NBoT.
shared-network VCLGuestRDPnetwork {
...
option netbios-name-servers noip;
if substring ( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 8 ) = MSFT 5.0 {
vendor-option-space MSFT;
# 1 = enable, 2 = disable - NetBIOS over TCP/IP:
option MSFT.nbt 2;
}
...
}
'noip' does not resolve to anything. Which causes dhcp to clear the
'netbios-name-servers' (aka WINS) setting if it is globally set.
Maybe this will help

I've been running Windows 7 images on ESXi 4.1 hosts in our VCL without
problem. When I updated several of those Windows 7 images to service
pack 1, I'm seeing an issue where more times than not, the VM will hang
at the Windows Starting screen for up to 30 minutes. If I revert back to
the pre-SP1 image, it boots just fine.
What's maddening is that it's not consistent. Some times it will boot
normally, but many times there's this long hang while booting, which of
course causes the reservation to fail. This happens across different VMs
running on different ESXi hosts. The common factor is Windows 7 SP1.
Has anyone else seen this?
