Possible Database Problem

[Aaron Bryant <am...@pitt.edu>]

Greetings,

I am new to VCL and having a problem configuring a Fedora 15 machine 
running Apache VCL 2.2.1.  This VCL project is being tested as a pilot 
project for the University I work for.  My testing environment is a Dell 
PowerEdge running Fedora 15 and a Dell PowerEdge R710 running VMware 
ESXI 4.1.0.  I have created a Windows 7 32 bit virtual machine using an 
ESXI client machine.  I completed installing Cygwin SSHD and I'm 
attempting to run the vcld -setup command.  My problem occurs in this 
step while creating a base image.  I am able to get through all of the 
prompts and start the creation before the script crashes with no image 
creation occurring.  I have checked the '/var/log/vcld.log' log file and 
this is a portion of the output:

16:25:34|2772|4:4|image|OS.pm:is_ssh_responding(386)|6vsphere is NOT 
responding to SSH, ports 22 or 24 are both closed
2012-01-24 16:25:34|2772|4:4|image|VMware.pm:initialize(257)|unable to 
control OS of VM host 6vsphere using 
VCL::Module::OS::Windows::Version_6::7 OS object because VM host is not 
responding to SSH

I have checked and am able to ssh between the management node and the 
virtual machines.  I am thinking that my problem may be with how the 
virtual machines are configured in the Database but I can't be sure.

Please see the log file attached for more information.

Thanks,
Aaron Bryant

Hi, Aaron --

Are you able to SSH to the VM host using key authentication?

ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key <VM host>

Also, check to be sure that "6vsphere" resolves to its IP from the
management node (in /etc/hosts).

Regards,
Mike
