I am trying to setup a xCAT cluster in which both the xCAT MN and CNs are
vmware esxi virtual machines on the same physical machine, the virtual
machines were created manually through the vmware vsphere client, when I
defined the virtual machine as xCAT CN, the definition looks like:
[root@rhmn ~]# lsdef rhcn1
Object name: rhcn1
arch=x86_64
cons=esx
groups=vmware,vm,all
installnic=eth0
mac=00:0c:29:f9:64:7d
mgt=esx
netboot=xnba
os=rhels6.2
postbootscripts=otherpkgs
postscripts=syslog,remoteshell,syncfiles
primarynic=eth0
profile=compute
serialport=0
serialspeed=115200
vmhost=x3550m4n01-esxi
[root@rhmn ~]#
But the rpower exits with error:
[root@rhmn ~]# rpower rhcn1 stat
Error: esx plugin bug, pid 26653, process description: 'xCATd SSL: rpower
to rhcn1 for root@localhost: esx instance' with error 'Can't call method
"configManager" on an undefined value
at /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/esx.pm line 584.
' while trying to fulfill request for the following nodes: rhcn1
[root@rhmn ~]#
The code is:
577 sub validate_licenses {
578 my $hyp = shift;
579 my $conn = $hyphash{$hyp}->{conn}; #This can't possibly be
called via a cluster stack, so hyphash is appropria te here
580 unless ($tablecfg{prodkey}->{$hyp}) { #if no license specified,
no-op
581 return;
582 }
583 my $hv = get_hostview(hypname=>$hyp,conn=>$conn,properties=>
['configManager','name']);
584 my $lm = $conn->get_view(mo_ref=>$hv->configManager->
licenseManager);
585 my @licenses;
If I modify the sub validate_licenses to immediately return without doing
anything, then rpower command could work correctly, any suggestion on what
the problem might be?
rcons is not working either:
[root@rhmn ~]# rcons rhcn1
[Enter `^Ec?' for help]
/bin/sh: /opt/xcat/share/xcat/cons/esx: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /opt/xcat/share/xcat/cons/esx: No such file or directory
[disconnect]
[root@rhmn ~]#
Does xCAT support rcons for the vmware esxi virtual machines?
Thanks,
