Hi Andy. A breakthrough! I now have multiple vm guests working! Yay! Weirdly, I still don't have the *first* vm guest - vmguest-1 - working, but at this point I don't really care, as this is all just for evaluation purposes anyway. The details, for the record:
The problem with vmguest-3, and what caused the new error in the vcld log: ____________ Failed to resolve given hostname/IP: vmguest-3. Note that you can't use '/mask' AND '1-4,7,100-' style IP ranges WARNING: No targets were specified, so 0 hosts scanned. ___________ ...was that I had indeed forgotten to add vmguest-3 to /etc/hosts. Adding it made the above error go away and, miraculously, also made ssh successful. It remains a mystery why vmguest-1 doesn't work, but since I now have multiple functioning vmguests I'm moving on to other challenges, namely, creating more images, both Windows and Linux, and adding users to the system. A thousand thanks for your perseverance here Andy. Hopefully, I'll be able to deal with the remaining challenges with a little less of your time and patience. Regards, Terry
