Stuck and need a little help.

[Marty Malinics <ma...@coatesville.k12.pa.us>]

Hello,  I have VCL 2.2 setup on two Centos boxes (Web and database, and management) using ESXi 4.1. The management node can communicate with VMware host and guest using SSH. I am not sure the Web node is communicating with management though. I get the following message when trying to change the guest state:
 
Change State of ComputersThe following computers currently have reservations on them but no functional management node was found for them. Nothing will be done with them at this time: 
 
Casdvm1
 
Is there a way to confirm communication to the management node?
 
Also when trying to create an image I get the following in the logs:

There may be something I am missing as the documentation is sketchy. I am not sure if the image needs to be created via the web interface before capturing it or not.
 
Thanks for any help or pointers you can provide.
