You can check on a VM as it is being provisioned by watching the vcld
log. You can also view the hypervisor directly by using the VMware
Virtual Infrastructure Client pointing at your hypervisor.
For instructions on creating a base linux VM image which the VCL VM
can deploy out see here: https://wiki.oscr.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/Creating_a_base_linux_ESX_image_for_VCL
For windows instructions, see here:

Hi,
Thank you for your release.
We have setup the environment for your VCL 2.1 Virtual Applicance.
How could
we know whether the VCL VM provision is OK? I didn't see any
imformation
about how to load a VM to the Hypervisor and run it.
Thanks

Some other folks in the community are specializing the bare metal
installs
through some form of integration with xcat 2.1.1. To keep my
sanity, I am
specializing in virtualization only VCL deployments and
functionality. Who
in the community is in charge of the bare metal integration moving
forward?

Hi,
Thank you for your greate help ! According to the email, this
release does
not support the deployment to the bare metal images. Then how
could i
make
it ? Will you give some direction? Or is there any higher release
version
recently ?
Thanks again !

I've finished building the new version of the VCL VM appliance
which is
ready to deploy virtual machines onto ESX and ESX 3i
hypervisors. This
VM
does not contain xcat and cannot deploy bare metal images or
vmware-server
images. The announcement is happening on this list because this VM
appliance should lower the barrier to working with VCL within this
community. Just to be clear, this VM is not being released by
Apache.
The
major improvements include:
The entire VM is only 3.1GB so it should be easy for folks to
download
The setup has been greatly simplified from the older and deprecated
version
hosted at the http://www.ibiblio.org/vclvm/ site
The VM comes with the ESX/ESX 3i provisioning module pre-
installed and
ready to use
To get started working with this VM, you will need:
At least one ESX or ESX 3i hypervisor
Some form of NFS storage which can also be SSH'd into. A good
example of
this is a simple Linux box acting as an NFS server.
The link to the instructions (which include a VM download link) are
located
below. These instructions are on wiki ... if you use them, and
find
improvements, please update the documentation!
