[one-users] OpenNebula 3.4 and Esxi 5.0- image cloning task throws error

[Tino Vazquez]

Dear Anil,

You are very right, this is a bug since it is true that "sudo" doesn't
come installed by default in ESX 5.0.

A possible workaround is to use the root account in the ESX 5.0 host,
since root permissions is needed by the vmkfstools command.

I've attached in the ticket a replacement for clone that uses a "ssh
root@<esx>" connection, and removes the use of sudo. For that you will
need to:

 * enable root access via ssh to ESX 5.0
 * replace the clone script

We will start working on a proper solution for this, it would be
trackable from dev.opennebula.

Regards,

-Tino
