Re: Help or support
Hello Dmitri,
I have checked all your suggestion and it is all configured correctly
and the ssh connections from my VCL node work properly,
'ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key u804vmsrv'
'ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key VMXP1'
But I continue with the same problem and I can not create the image. I
will try to find the problem in the scripts.
Many thanks in avanced,

You should login without a need to enter password. This implies that 'End Node SSH Identity Key Files:' is to /etc/vcl/vcl.key in management node configuration.
