Looks like your next step is to add virtual machines to your VCL computers inventory. You will need both the virtual machine host (which you have) and 1 or more vms.
Please see adding vms http://vcl.apache.org/docs/addingvmcomputers And then you'll assign the vms to the virtual host: http://vcl.apache.org/docs/assignvmtohost As part of the vmware host configuration, vcld uses ssh identity keys to login to both the vm hosts and the clients. Here are steps on enabling ssh access on an ESX server: http://vcl.apache.org/docs/vmwareconfiguration A requirement for the vcld --setup capture process is that certain vcl components need to exist before an initial image can be capture. The docs are in a poor state right now, especially on post install steps to get a functioning image. We have a mix of documents on the confluence wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL and the official http://vcl.apache.org site. Until we make a decision on how best to get the documentation presented, I'll update some of the http://vcl.apache.org/docs/VCL232InstallGuide.html pages to flow better.
