Next step after hopefully an initial image capture

Hi,

Could the list help me with couple questions ?

(1) What's the best way to tell if the image has been captured properly ?

 Say, my image name is vmwarelinux-base10-v1. Is the creation of the
following imply successful creation of image:
./golden/
./golden/vmwarelinux-base10-v1
./golden/vmwarelinux-base10-v1/vmwarelinux-base10-v1.vmx
./golden/vmwarelinux-base10-v1/vmwarelinux-base10-v1.vmdk
./golden/vmwarelinux-base10-v1/vmwarelinux-base10-v1-flat.vmdk ?

(2)
Assuming that one has successfully captured an image (which I'm not
fully certain I have),
it seems to me that the next logical step is to have access to the image.

I'm using admin account.
My Image name is "No Apps (Linux)".

I'm following the step of
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Granting+Access+to+a+New+Image

    So, I did Step 1.1 -> Making "No Apps(Linux)" part of allImages
and allVMImages;
                 Step 1.2 -> Making {allImages,allVMImages} to belong
to "{allComputers,newImages,newVMImages}
                 Step 2.{1,2,3} -> It seems that admin already has all
the privileges

     I have questions on Step 2.4. Step 2.4 says that "Make sure the
image group in which you placed in the image in #1 of Image mapping is
available at this node".
     Q: Is Step 2.4 asking to look at Resources section under the
"Privileges" section to see if "allImages" are marked "Available"
     Q: SImilarly, is Step 2.5 asking to look at Resources section
under the "Privileges" section to see if "allComputers" are marked
"Available"

     Q: Please see attached screen shot.
          Under "Privileges" screen, somehow, under "Resources"
section, allManagementNodes row appears to not have the
          rows rendered (attached will show that the
"allManagementNodes" row aren't rendered now.
          I let my mouse hover on "allManagementNodes" and got what it
might be the clues in the yellow block.

Currently, when I tried to make a "New Reservation" of "No
Apps(Linux)" for now, it would say "Selection not currently
available".
Ultimately, I wish to be able to create a new reservation for image
that has been captured (if indeed it has been captured)

Thanks.

Thanks again Ryan for your input. Your input has made this experiment
a lot less painful.

Ah.. I know for certain of one issue that I definitely have. ESXi host
has stubbornly refused to change the state to "vmhostinuse".

I think I'm also suffering from the same problem of my ESXi host not
in "vmhostinuse" state (similar to past posters in the same link);
http://tinyurl.com/29vsjp6

>From the threads, I'm not sure if or how the poster solves the problem.

I changed the state to vmhostinuse via web interface, there are no
error messages, but when I revisit the webpage again, the state
becomes "available" again. I'm not sure if I should go to the database
and directly tweak it. The fact that the webpage did not change the
state from available to vmhostinuse for me is a bit worrisome.

Any help, comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Following are my tables.

For you selection not currently available problem, there was some discussion
a couple of threads ago.  There were also other discussions, check this link

http://markmail.org/search/set:arkurth/vcl+"not+currently+available"<http://markmail.org/search/set:arkurth/vcl+%22not+currently+available%22>

<http://markmail.org/search/set:arkurth/vcl+%22not+currently+available%22>Make
sure your computers (VM's) are in groups and that your base image is mapped
to these groups and make sure the hardware requirements listed for the image
in the image table are met by the hardware listed for your VM's in the
computers table.  The reservations will not work if VCL cannot ssh into the
VM's when they are spun up.  Credentials will not be able to be set, etc..
 I am unsure of the configurations which VCL does during base image capture,
but I assume its important.  Maybe someone could enlighten us?

I think I missed the Management Node Grouping -> where
managementnode.local should belong to "allManagementNodes" Grouping.

I also did couple other changes today morning; so I'm not entirely
sure what else I did.

Thanks.

Josh, List,

I saw the managementnode listed (attached is from the web page screen shot).
The management was entered using web interface.

This indicates there is a problem with how your management node is entered in 
to VCL.  When you click 
Management Nodes->Edit Management Node Information->Submit, do you see any 
management nodes?  If not, make sure you follow steps 15 to 26 at

https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/web-code-installation.html

If you do see a management node, please send the contents of the 
managementnode and resource tables.
