Standalone lab provisioning

[Terry McGuire <tm...@ualberta.ca>]

Hello friendly and knowledgable VCL users.  I've been tasked with  
setting up a demonstration VCL service using a small cluster we had  
kicking around - basically a bunch of towers and a network.  I have  
the cluster's head node up and running with the VCL database, web  
server and management node software (and I'm pretty proud I got *that*  
far).  I'm now looking at, uh, everything else.

As a demo of the basic functions available with VCL, I thought it  
might be easiest to forego xCAT and/or VMware, and simply set things  
up to broker access to already-imaged machines.  The documentation  
page (http://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/documentation.html) mentions this,  
but this part of the docs don't seem to be developed yet.  And poking  
around trying to figure it out myself has brought me to a dead-end.

Can anyone give me some pointers, or hints, or encouragement, to help  
me out?

Kind regards,
Terry McGuire
