Hello Bharat,

 "Mon Oct 17 14:01:44 2011 [TM][I]: COMMAND not found: CONTEXT
/var/lib/one/var/13/context.sh
ESXI:/var/lib/one/var/images/13/images/disk.1."

About the above error, a little bit of theory first. Each transfer manager
has its configuration stored in
/etc/one/tm_(TransferManagerName)/tm_(TransferManagerName).conf. For example
the shared transfer manager stores its configuration file in
/etc/one/tm_shared/tm_shared.conf, the ssh one in
/etc/one/tm_ssh/tm_ssh.conf. In that configuration file there is the
variable CONTEXT which points to a shell script that actually does the work
of creating the contextualization iso.

You'll notice, for example at tm_shared driver that the CONTEXT variable
points to "shared/tm_context.sh". The place where you find the actual script
depends on your installation type - self contained or system wide. If it's
self contained you'll find the script
in $ONE_LOCATION/lib/tm_commands/$CONTEXT. If it's system wide you can find
it in /usr/lib/one/tm_commands/$CONTEXT.

Depending on your Transfer Manager driver, take a look at that script and
see what it does and why does it fail.

Anyway, something similar happened to me a few weeks ago, when I've first
installed ONe3.0 and started to use the contextualization method. My install
is on Debian Squeeze and it seems that the package mkisofs changed it's name
into genisoimage. With this change the binary name changed also from mkisofs
to genisoimage. The contextualization feature was failing because it
couldn't find the mkisofs binary. Making a symlink of mkisofs to genisoimage
solved my problem. Ohh and by the way, if your system doesn't provide
mkisofs/genisoimage you have to install it. Debian standard install doesn't
have mkisofs installed.

Note to developers: If mkisofs changed name and all Linux distro are now
providing only genisoimage package wouldn't be nice to change the MKISOFS
variable from /usr/lib/one/sh/scripts_common.sh to the new name of the
binary - genisoimage. Yes, I know we can do that by our selfs after
installation, or make a symlink, but I think this thing could ease the life
of a ONe newcomer :).

Have a great day,
v
