Hi List. We have a VCL 2.2 instance running, most things work, but one glaring problem is still thwarting me. When I try to create a block allocation, the computers always come up "Failed"; this in spite of the fact that I can reserve the same image individually with no issues.
I've tried this so far with the admin@Local account, as well as my user account which has full admin privileges (or at least as close as we can get by assigning rights in the Privileges page). I go to the "Block Allocations" page, click "Create New Block Allocation", fill in the form, choosing a known-working image in the "Environment" dropdown, and a "List of Dates/Times" with one time span in the near future. "Submit New Block Allocation" pops up a confirmation window, that goes fine, and I have an entry "Block Allocations" page under "Manage Block Allocations". Looks fine. But, if I click an entry under "Your Active Block Allocations", under "Current status of computers," the number by "Failed" is equal to the number of seats I reserved, and as far as I can tell the system never tries to deploy a VM. I'm guessing that there is some permission setting or some other item within the management node that I've overlooked. Any hints on where to look?
