-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Mike has already mentioned some of these items, but I'll list them all out together to make it easier to check.
- -put "No Apps(Linux)" in the allVMimages group - -create a new computer group named "All VMs" - -map the allVMimages image group to the "All VMs" computer group - -put vm-spawn-1 and any other VMs you've created in the "All VMs" computer group - -add "All VMs" to the VCL node on the privilege tree with the available attribute - -map the AllManagementNodes management node group to the "All VMs" computer group - -make sure the computer specs for vm-spawn-1 are greater than or equal to the image specs for "No Apps(Linux)" - -make sure vm-spawn-1 is in the available state - -make sure vm-spawn-1 is assigned to ESXi host in the Virtual Hosts part of the site - -make sure vcld is running on your management node and is regularly checking in to the database - -make sure your management node is in the AllManagementNodes group - -make sure the schedule associated with vm-spawn-1 is available during the time you've selected for your reservation (if you haven't messed with your schedules, this shouldn't be an issue) I think I covered everything. Let us know what you find. Josh On Wednesday June 09, 2010, Waldron, Michael H wrote: > Nothing obvious is jumping out at me here.
