Greetings ..
Im working for a while on VCL and Im still stuck in the phase where I have
to create a base image. I will briefly describe my configuration, any help
is appreciated.
we have a management node running CentOS with all components (DB, web) and
we have one machine (worker) connected to this node via switch (private
network).
this machine has Esxi 5.0 running on it and we could create a virtual
machine ( with Ubuntu as OS) using another windows machine running Vsphere.
now my question; I failed creating a base image, what IP's should I give
the VM info on the website ?? should it be running while creating the base
image ?? is it ok if I ran it using windows machine running Vsphere and
connected to it ??
sorry if my questions seem simple, but I got confused when I failed and I
didn't know what to do.
again, any help is appreciated, many thanks in advance
Ahmad Diab
here is the part of my logfile where I think the problem is:
