Cloud Provisioning with VMWARE ESXI
Hi
I am using VMWARE esxi 5 as my host and i have a few VM's running inside
this host. I also have a couple of templates which i have created from
which i boot up VM's
Now my question is... Will i be able to boot up new instances using the
existing Templates in VMWARE? If yes how bcoz if i try to list images i
dont see the template and if i try to list instance, i only see
instances, I do not see the template anywhere using deltacloud?
So is it possible to use deltacloud to provision VM inside vsphere?
--
Thank You

That should be now listed as dependency in RPM.

While you're working in gemspec, did we ever bump the rbovirt requirement?
Looks like we still have ... s.add_dependency('rbovirt', '>=0.0.6')
Also, related to vsphere, I've needed to 'rpm install genisoimage', perhaps that needs to be doc'ed?

Oh yes. For some unknown reason, this gem is not included in gemspec…
I have patch for that (with couple other fixes for vsphere) that I will
send tomorrow ;)

Just a note, you will need VSphere server running with SOAP API to make DC
work. Then you can start Deltacloud by:
$ deltacloudd -i vsphere -P vsphere-server.hostname.com
[Replace vsphere-server.hostname.com by your sphere hostname/IP]

Yes, that's entirely possible - do you get any errors in the server log
when you try to list images or instances ?
How do you start deltacloudd ?
