I'm trying to automate creating a VM as much as humanly possible but for the kickstart to work, I need to get the MAC address of one of the NICs. Through human interaction I can check it via vSphere > Edit Settings > Select the NIC and tada. But I have yet to find a way to do it, preferably through vmware-cmd (which let me say is lacking is documentation). Does anyone have a good way of doing this? I've found a sample perl script in the powercli tools but the host has to be on.

I'm tearing my hair out trying to get the Dell Management Center plugin working with 5.1. I'm pretty sure I have the vibs installed and I deployed the Virtual Center ovf and set it up. But at the end of the day, it doesn't want to connect and keeps giving me a web server communication error. Ideas?

Here's a link to the exact image. I can't even get to the setup wizard. http://i.imgur.com/rFt8G.png

Corvettefisher posted:Yeah I would be on the phone will dell. You are using the dell ESXI image right? I was hoping not to have to call them but looks like my day is planned. I used the dell image for the initial install last year but updated to 5.1 using VUM but I have the dell repo attached to VUM too so I ASSUME that any dell updates would apply as well (of which a scan tell me my hosts and vms are all up to date).

I know enough about Dells to know that if you get broadcom nics in it, you're committing suicide on your virtual server (at least vmware). Actually, other than the hair pulling situation of getting their management poo poo working with vmware recently, there haven't been too many problems from the Dell side here (4 host cluster).

Speaking of running off of running off of SD card, our environment runs on SD rather than disc (all hosts read from SAN) but 3 of our hosts came with like 300GB in disc each. Is there a good use for these or is it basically wasted space outside of the host? The guy who setup most of our environment left but said that ESXi 5.1 finally made this useful but I don't remember what the solution had to deal with.

I'm working migrating a lot of computing here to Eucalyptus. It's fantastic for anyone who uses AWS and really it takes maybe an hour to two from blank box to cloud controller (whereas I worked for 9 months getting OpenStack to a state other than "not working" without luck). My issue comes in that we've got a reasonably large Windows infrastructure in AWS and to migrate that out, I need to find a good way to get a Windows image into the cloud (KVM base). I've tried importing from both Fusion and Virtual Box with failure. KVM doesn't have any kind of cool console like Hyper-V 2012 or VMWare so I can't see where in the bootup it's failing. Anyone have tips on getting this working?

jre posted:Have you tried doing something like this ? This actually looks like it'll work great. Thanks. Also, it looks like buried in euca's documentation is a decent step through for installing directly on an NC. https://www.eucalyptus.com/docs/eucalyptus/3.3/user-guide/images_win.html#images_win It's a lot more involved than I'd hoped but I'm certainly getting further with those two than I was before.

evol262 posted:Eucalyptus just got bought, so its future is a little uncertain, sadly. Got bought and uncertain future but the CEO is staying on as head of cloud (all cloud) business. The move honestly could be seen just as easily as HP walking away from OpenStack as Euca being destroyed. I haven't used KVM much before this honestly. Looking through online a lot of times people make a lot of assumptions over my head. It looks like yes I can attach to KVM via VNC using libvert but getting the proper information for applying this to Euca can be difficult.
