 hi tino
In vm.log very beging I am getting following message
Wed Sep  2 17:53:09 2009 [DiM][I]: New VM state is ACTIVE.
Wed Sep  2 17:53:09 2009 [LCM][I]: New VM state is PROLOG.
Wed Sep  2 17:53:09 2009 [VM][I]: Virtual Machine has no context

Hi Tino,

 Now I am trying with ESXI3.5. I don't have problem with onehost. Always it shows the informations. 
 But "onevm create" is not working. The vm state always in pending stage. If I fire "onevm deploy" command then tm_clone.sh script getting executed. But "onevm deloy" also gives error.

Find error details(vm.log) below
 2 17:54:10 2009 [TM][I]: tm_clone.sh: Cloning successfully completed
 2 17:54:10 2009 [LCM][I]: New VM state is BOOT
 2 17:54:10 2009 [VMM][E]: deploy_action, error getting driver vmm_vmware
 2 17:54:10 2009 [DiM][I]: New VM state is FAILED

Please help us resolve the issue

My doubt is
Even though "onevm create" includes deploy operation , why there is need for "onevm deploy"  

Regards
marimuthu

That is strange, since OpenNebula will pass to the driver something like

$ONE_LOCATION/var/<vmid>/images/deployment.0

and then the driver will remove the "/images". Could you tell us what do you have in the "str" variable after line 87 ("str=in.readLine()").

In ESX hypervisors the datastore is located in /vmfs/volumes/<datastore_name>. In VMware server the prefix may vary, look in your filesystem for the <datastore_name>.

Couyld you send over the $ONE_LOCATION/var/oned.log? That may be a connection problem.

I need to test it under vmware server and probably make some changes. Meanwhile, if you point me what is the path to the DATASTORE in your vmware server I may be able to provide a quick patch.
