Dear all, I'm having some trouble cloning a vmware vm with clone vm.
I followed the instructions in the "xCAT Virtualization with VMWare" wiki article (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_Virtualization_with_VMWare#Clone_a_virtual_machine_node) But it does not seem to work: [root@xcat ~]# clonevm vm5 -t nfs://10.0.2.31/vms/shared/vmmaster vm5: Successfully copied to nfs: //10.0.2.31/vms/shared/vmmaster [root@xcat ~]# tabdump vm #node,host,migrationdest,storage,storagemodel,cfgstore,memory,cpus,nics,nicmodel,bootorder,clockoffset,virtflags,master,vncport,textconsole,powerstate,beacon,datacenter,guestostype,othersettings,vidmodel,vidproto,comments,disable "vm5","blade03",,"nfs://xcat.core.cloud/vms/shared",,"nfs://xcat.core.cloud/vms/shared","2048","2","eth0",,,,,,,,,,"vlan5",,,,,"VM auto created by Moab", [root@xcat ~]# ls /vms/shared/ -al total 24 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:39 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jul 20 12:41 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:41 nfs_+JQ-2f+JQ-2f10.0.2.31+JQ-2fvms+JQ-2fshar drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:41 vm5 [root@xcat ~]# Also, i tried creating the vm without specifying the nfs path (since clonevm's man page mentioned nothing about it) and... [root@xcat ~]# ls -l /vms/shared/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:41 nfs_+JQ-2f+JQ-2f10.0.2.31+JQ-2fvms+JQ-2fshar drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:46 nfs_+JQ-2f+JQ-2fxcat.core.cloud+JQ-2fvms+JQ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:48 vm5 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:46 vm6 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 01:48 vmmaster2 [root@xcat ~]# This time, xCAT did create a "vmmaster2" directory (and i briefly saw some references to "vmmaster2" on the hypervisor). The problem is that "clonevm -b vmmaster2 clonevm1" does not work, because xCAT does not find vmmaster2 anywhere: [root@xcat ~]# clonevm -b vmmaster2 clonevm1 Error: Invalid nodes and/or groups in noderange: vmmaster2 [root@xcat ~]# Isn't xCAT supposed to edit the "vm" table and set vm.master on the source vm to "vmmaster2" ? Any thoughts on what might be happening? p.s. i'm using xCAT-2.6.1-snap201106151110.
