Yes, commenting it won't help. The code is simply looking for the first line
with the hostname.

Hmm, I commented out the public address from /etc/hosts. Maybe the parsing
is still finding it though? I'll remove it entirely and try again tonight.
Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
Remove the public address for the computer from /etc/hosts. The code finds
the first line in /etc/hosts containing "vcl-winxp" and uses this for the
private interface. Add the private address to /etc/hosts if you haven't
already done so. The code is collecting the private address from /etc/hosts
then parses the ipconfig output to find the public IP address. It assumes
the adapter not using the private address is public.
Hope this helps,
Andy

Thanks James. I added the VMs to my /etc/hosts file and my dhcpd.conf
file,
and the same thing is happening. I think the dhcp was working fine
before,
but VCL seems to be getting confused between what the public IP address is
and what the private one is. Here is a snippet from the logs:

IP
address in computer table
As you can see, its taking the public IP (134.154.119.175) and making it
the
private one, and vice versa. End result is that it asks me to RDP to the
private address, which of course is impossible.
If I RDP to the 134.154.119.175, I can login just fine. I just need VCL
to
present that IP address to me instead of the private one.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hey Jeff,
It looks like you have not filled in your mac address information for
your
virtual machine. Vmware likes a particular format for this. Try
00:50:56:2A:3B:00 for eth0macaddress and 00:50:56:2A:3B:01 for
eth1macaddress.
The field "IPaddress" corresponds to the "public" address. Though, I
don't
think this will matter here. A public IP address typically will be
generate
for your machine. Try a reservation with the mac addresses and see if
that
fixes this.
You may have already done these steps but I thought I would add them to
be
safe:
You should have an entry for your virtual machine in your /etc/hosts
file.
(ex. 10.75.144.15 csuvm15).
You should also have an entry in your dhcpd.conf file as well for each
virtual machine.
Hope this helps,
Patrick

We're now at the point where we can create reservations and virtual
machines
get loaded with images. The issue we're having is that the virtual
machines
come up on their private IP addresses only. The reservation screen
shows
the private IP and the RDP file has that IP in it. We have the virtual
machines configured with two interfaces - one on the private network for
VCL
admin stuff, and the other on the public network where we have the
campus
DHCP server configured to give it an IP. However, it doesn't seem to be
working, or at least if it is getting a public IP, VCL isn't telling us
what
it is.
I'm wondering if the issue is in the database. Each virtual machine has
an
"IPaddress" and a "privateIPaddress". On our virtual machines, they are
set
to the same thing. Here is an example:

Should one be NULLed out or set to something else? Should we put all
the
private entries in the /etc/hosts file of the VMWare management server?
Currently I haven't done that, but read it in one of the posts here.
Any
other ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
