New capture failed atttempting Windows post-load tasks
Hi again,
So after getting the new sshd-config file this morning, I configured it and all seemed good. I then attempted to capture my base image. The capture itself completed successfully but then I got an error that the reload process failed right after this:
2012-08-02 12:23:18|21124|124:124|reload|Windows.pm:post_load(583)|beginning Windows post-load tasks on vmwg0-120-57
After numerous attempts (about 107) to connect to SSH it finally failed reporting:
2012-08-02 12:38:35|21124|124:124|reload|Module.pm:code_loop_timeout(767)|waiting for vmwg0-120-57 to respond to SSH, code did not return true after waiting 900 seconds
Since it didn't finish the post-load tasks I was still able to login as root to my Windows XP image using the VI Client console. I opened Cygwin and typed ps -ef looking to see if sshd was running but it's not. The only processes running are ps, bash and mintty. Should I be able to see if sshd is running using this method of checking. I know about ps -ef from very limited unix interactions so I thought I'd try it.
I know that in the past, when sshd didn't start (before capturing into VCL) I would have to open a cmd prompt and run the rebaseall but it looks like that cmd file gets deleted during the capture? because it's no longer in C:\cygwin\home\root which is where it used to be. I was thinking I would just try to run that again.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Adam

RE: New capture failed atttempting Windows post-load tasks
Posted by "Hechler, Adam" <he...@rpi.edu>.
Hello again,
So, I walked out of the office last night thinking that my re-capture was running smoothly. It got about 20 minutes in, I think and then (I think this is the section containing the fatal error - it failed to configure the firewall to all SSH?). Is that my problem? If so, any idea how to correct that?
Thanks,
Adam

RE: New capture failed atttempting Windows post-load tasks
Posted by "Hechler, Adam" <he...@rpi.edu>.
Thanks Dmitri,
I was able to ssh to the vm from the management node before I captured.
Curious.. because I never thought about it before... I can re-capture an existing vm that's already been captured? I guess it makes logical sense. It's still just a vm existing in VMWare Server.
I'll give that a try.

Adam
Where you able to 'ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key image-computer-name' before you captured the image?
Yes, it seems like a good idea to redo ssh config, run get-node-key.sh from management node and re-capture the image.
You will have new image under Manage Images and can delete the old image which is not working.
Reboot the image before you start capture to make sure Cygwin SSH starts up.
Thanks

RE: New capture failed atttempting Windows post-load tasks
Posted by "Hechler, Adam" <he...@rpi.edu>.
Hi Dmitri,
I tried that and it's not working. I even went into Cygwin and tried to manually start sshd from in there and it's giving me the following error messages:
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
When I check in etc, there are files for the host keys but they're empty now. When I check the sshd log there's a bunch of entries showing that it matched host keys and then three sets of "no host keys available" at the bottom of the log (presumably from my last three attempts to start sshd beginning with the reload).
Can I just run the cywin-sshd-config.sh again on the vm and then run the gen-node-key again on the management node? It's already been captured so I'm not sure if that would cause havoc.

Hi Adam
Once you connect to Windows XP using VI client, can you start Cygwin SSH service manually under Control Panel -> Services?
Thanks.

I opened Cygwin and typed ps –ef looking to see if sshd was running but it’s not. The only processes running are ps, bash and mintty. Should I be able to see if sshd is running using this method of checking. I know about ps -ef from very limited unix interactions so I thought I’d try it.

I was thinking I would just try to run that again.
