VCL appliance 2.1

[Kelly Robinson <is...@langate.gsu.edu>]

Can someone tell me the contents of the VCL-VM.vmdk file located on the download site for the VCL 2.1 appliance ( http://brian-linux.cnl.ncsu.edu/VCLVM3G/ ) ?
I can see from the file extension that it is a virtual hard disk, but this file will not upload correctly when I place it into the datastore on the hypervisor.  The VCL-VM-flat.vmdk file gets renamed to VCL-VM.vmdk when its uploaded and the original "VCL-VM.vmdk" file gets over written.  Has anyone had this happen?  If so, is there a work around?  Is this file necessary?
 
Thanks,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,

The appliance(or any VCL appliance) is not supported by Apache VCL.

I would suggest to use the VCL Install guide.
