Hi again, Just to update, got the capture process working.
Followed the configuration examples more closely in the VMware config section on the website using an exported NFS store on the management node (getting NFS working wasn’t fun!) and mounting that on the VM Host as a repository. Going to try more image captures with additional VM’s with extra NIC’s in, see how it goes. tom Sent from Mail for Windows 10 Sent: 08 April 2016 13:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Capturing Linux Image Hi all Wondering if if anyone can provide assistance again. I’m having some problems capturing a Linux image and I’m thinking its how my vm host profile is setup (Vmware esxi-local). Now its probably due to my lack of understanding on how the capture process works and how vcl essentially provisions VM’s. Is there anything on the website that details the capture process? I cant seem to find anything. The errors Im getting are below. My setup is VM’s running on one esxi box (compute node ive called it) and centos running on a separate physical box (vcl-mgmt) which runs the web portal/database ect. What happens to the vms on the compute node once the capture process starts? Initially I have everything on local storage. Trying to get this work before I try shared storage. 2016-04-08 02:19:58|14932|1|1|image|VMware.pm:is_vm_dedicated|4025|VM disk mode does not need to be dedicated 2016-04-08 02:19:58|14932|1|1|image|VMware.pm:initialize|363|not checking if vmdk base directory exists because it is the same as the vmx base directory: address: 3a5bb20 2016-04-08 02:19:58|14932|1|1|image|vcld:make_new_child|584|VCL::image object created and initialized 2016-04-08 02:19:58|14932|1|1|image|VMware.pm:does_image_exist|4368|image does NOT exist in datastore on VM host ESXI-COMPUTE: /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmwareubuntu-Kaliv22-v0/vmwareubuntu-Kaliv22-v0.vmdk 2016-04-08 02:19:58|14932|1|1|image|VMware.pm:get_repository_vmdk_base_directory_path|3908|repository path is not configured in the VM profile 2016-04-08 02:19:58|14932|1|1|image|VMware.pm:get_repository_vmdk_directory_path|3949|image repository vmdk directory path cannot be determined because repository path is not configured in the VM profile 2016-04-08 02:19:58|14932|1|1|image|VMware.pm:does_image_exist|4385|image does not exist on the VM host and image repository path is not configured in the Thanks for any info
