------------------------------

             Summary: Image retrieval may attempt to copy multiple copies of the same file, does not retrieve VMware reference vmx file.
                 Key: VCL-625
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-625
             Project: VCL
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: vcld (backend)
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Andy Kurth
            Assignee: Andy Kurth
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.3.1


When an image is retrieved from another management node, Provisioning.pm::retrieve_image calls the provisioning module's get_image_repository_search_paths subroutine in order to know where the image may reside on the remote management node.  Multiple paths may be returned.  The image files may be located multiple times.  retrieve_image simply loops through the paths it finds and doesn't check if it is retrieving the same file multiple times.

Also, the VMware vmx.reference file is not being retrieved.  This may cause images to load which were captured on VMs with non-default hardware settings.
