[one-users] Fwd: Register VM for ESX 4.1

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Jonathan,

To define an OpenNebula VMware template you need to set as the source
for the DISK the folder where all the VMware related VM files are
placed.

About the error you are experiencing, the configuration should be
(assuming you are using the tm_vmware driver, i discourage the use of
the tm_vmware_ssh prototype transfer driver):

* No VM_DIR set in oned.conf
* DATASTORE_PATH in the TM configuration should point to a local path
in the OpenNebula front-end that is used as the NFS export which the
ESXs mount as their DATASTORE.

If this is correctly set, we will need to take a look at the log of
the vmm driver to see exactly what is failing.

Best regards,

-Tino
