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

[Jonathan Kelley]

Hi Tino,

I think I am getting a little farther in that I was trying to use the onevm
create <image> instead of registering (which worked but not sure it helps).

However it fails to create the vm and I find this message in the
vmm_vmware.log:

[02.09.2010 11:57:44] Failed deploying VM 1 into
12core.xxxxx.com.Reason:/export/vg0-lv0/1/deployment.0 (No such file or
directory)

with these messages in the oned.log:

Any tips with these messages?

I have a single NFS mount on the ESX host as datastore1 and is a local path
to the OpenNebula front-end.
