Everything looks pretty good. Your image capture was successful. Whenever an image is captured vcld automatically attempts to reload the newly captured image on the computer which was used to capture the image. In your case this failed because it detected that the computer to be reloaded had another image capture request stored in the database:
2013-11-27 11:24:51|18386|34:34|reload|new.pm:computer_not_being_used(767)|VMN1 is NOT available, it is assigned to an existing imaging reservation: |18386|34:34|reload| request:reservation ID: 11:11 I think this is due to one or more previous base image creation attempts still stored in the database in the maintenance state. The automatic reload failed as a safety check. vcld won't attempt to reload a computer it is sees that the database contains a failed image capture request for that same computer. You probably made multiple 'vcld --setup' attempts and there are reservations stuck in the database. You're at reservation/request 34/34. The problematic reservation/request is 11/11. I would manually edit the database and delete everything in the request table with request.stateid = 10 (maintenance), request.laststateid = 16 (image). You should then make sure the newly captured image is put into an image group per the instructions and then try to reload your new base image on a computer via Computer Utilities. -Andy On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 6:42 AM, Alanoud J <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Andy .. > > I deleted content of vcld.log file and started over trying to create an > Ubuntu base image, I think my problem is in the host profile parameters, so > here is the content of my host profile: > > virtual disk path : /vmfs/volumes/VFSBI (same path as the VM on the VM host) > repository image type : vmdk > virtual disk image type : vmdk > and the rest are kept empty. > > and this is the log file, from the beginning of creating the image until it > gives: "lastcheckin" lines > > appreciate your help > Alanod Aljboor > > > On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 12:51 AM, Andy Kurth <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Is this the end of your vcld.log file or are there still lines being >> written to it?
