I'm confused about what you're trying to load.  Is
centos5image-kvmlinuxv4105-v0 a bare metal image?  The reservation
info you sent earlier had this image being loaded on the virtual
machine sandbox-vcl-19.

Assuming you have a Linux VM image, its OSid should be set to
vmwarelinux, which should be pointing to VCL::Module::OS::Linux.

The computer.provisioningid value of the VM should be set the libvirt
entry in the provisioning table, which should be pointing to
VCL::Module::Provisioning::libvirt.
