Hello Guys, I have added 2 ESXi 5.5 host and downloaded vmware-tty template from marketplace to test if the vms are deployed. However while deploying the template I get copy error in logs. > Thu Sep 24 01:35:10 2015 [Z0][VM][I]: New state is ACTIVE > Thu Sep 24 01:35:10 2015 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is PROLOG > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][I]: Command execution fail: /var/lib/one/remotes/tm/shared/clone cloudnode:/var/lib/one//datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 192.168.4.112:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/7/disk.0 7 1 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][I]: /var/lib/one/remotes/tm/shared/clone: line 87: [: : integer expression expected > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][I]: clone: Cloning /var/lib/one/datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 in 192.168.4.112:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/7/disk.0 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][E]: clone: Command "cd /var/lib/one/datastores/0/7; cp /var/lib/one/datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 /var/lib/one/datastores/0/7/disk.0 " failed: cp: can’t stat ‘/var/lib/one/datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729’: No such file or directory > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][E]: Error copying cloudnode:/var/lib/one//datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 to 192.168.4.112:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/7/disk.0 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][I]: ExitCode: 1 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][E]: Error executing image transfer script: Error copying cloudnode:/var/lib/one//datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 to 192.168.4.112:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/7/disk.0 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is PROLOG\_FAILURE ONED.LOG > Thu Sep 24 01:35:10 2015 [Z0][DiM][D]: Deploying VM 7 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:10 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:4416 UID:0 VirtualMachineDeploy result SUCCESS, 7 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:10 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:5376 UID:0 VirtualMachineInfo invoked , 7 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:10 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:5376 UID:0 VirtualMachineInfo result SUCCESS, “70…” > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][D]: Message received: LOG I 7 Command execution fail: /var/lib/one/remotes/tm/shared/clone cloudnode:/var/lib/one//datastores/1/4b5396 > 2827da5683a9187309cef54729 192.168.4.112:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/7/disk.0 7 1 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][D]: Message received: LOG I 7 /var/lib/one/remotes/tm/shared/clone: line 87: [: : integer expression expected > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][D]: Message received: LOG I 7 clone: Cloning /var/lib/one/datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 in 192.168.4.112:/var/lib/one/ > /datastores/0/7/disk.0 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][D]: Message received: LOG E 7 clone: Command "cd /var/lib/one/datastores/0/7; cp /var/lib/one/datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a91 > 87309cef54729 /var/lib/one/datastores/0/7/disk.0 " failed: cp: can’t stat ‘/var/lib/one/datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729’: No such file or director > y > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][D]: Message received: LOG E 7 Error copying cloudnode:/var/lib/one//datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 to 192.168.4.112:/va > r/lib/one//datastores/0/7/disk.0 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][D]: Message received: LOG I 7 ExitCode: 1 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][TM][D]: Message received: TRANSFER FAILURE 7 Error copying cloudnode:/var/lib/one//datastores/1/4b53962827da5683a9187309cef54729 to 192.16 > 8.4.112:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/7/disk.0 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:11 2015 [Z0][InM][D]: Host Esxi5-5-Cluster-16 (1) successfully monitored. > Thu Sep 24 01:35:15 2015 [Z0][AuM][D]: Message received: AUTHENTICATE SUCCESS 7 - > Thu Sep 24 01:35:15 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:1696 UID:0 VirtualMachinePoolInfo invoked , -2, 0, -2000, -1 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:15 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:1696 UID:0 VirtualMachinePoolInfo result SUCCESS, “\7\ Thu Sep 24 01:35:15 2015 [Z0][InM][D]: Monitoring datastore default (1) > Thu Sep 24 01:35:15 2015 [Z0][InM][D]: Monitoring datastore files (2) > Thu Sep 24 01:35:16 2015 [Z0][ImM][D]: Datastore files (2) successfully monitored. > Thu Sep 24 01:35:16 2015 [Z0][ImM][D]: Datastore default (1) successfully monitored. > Thu Sep 24 01:35:17 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:4432 UID:0 VirtualMachinePoolInfo invoked , -2, 0, -2000, -1 > Thu Sep 24 01:35:17 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:4432 UID:0 VirtualMachinePoolInfo result SUCCESS, “\7\ Thu Sep 24 01:35:17 2015 [Z0][ReM][D]: Req:2256 UID:0 VirtualMachineInfo invoked , 7 Could you kindly guide me what is missing so that I can fix it.

You need to configure the ‘vmfs’ storage drivers instead of the ‘shared’ ones you seem to be using from your logs, as explained here: [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/storage/vmware\_ds.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/storage/vmware_ds.html) ---

The oneadmin user of the ESX hosts needs to be able to write in the datastore. You may need to add the user to the root group as explained here: [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/virtualization/evmwareg.html#users-groups](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/virtualization/evmwareg.html#users-groups) ---

HI Tino, I think ESXi 5.1 and later does not support local groups. Groups have been depreciated in ESXi 5.1 onwards. The group memebership tab is empty and does not give me to add a new local group. Here’s the screenshot. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/opennebula/original/2X/4/46f1535836a3007ef64cf93f7df02c2fb5b0fe09.png) Is there any other way to add oneadmin to root group in ESXi5.5?

There are several ways to tackle this. I suggest making sure that user oneadmin in the front-end shares the UID 1000 that is assigned on the ESX, or alternatively using the anonuid and anongid options in the NFS server, as explained here: [http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/nfs.htm](http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/nfs.htm) ---

Hi Tino, > **Issues was fixed** by adding anonuid and anongid options in the NFS and by adding domain to the hostname. This is for Ubuntu 14.04 OS, Here are the step that might help. **The vital clue showed up in /var/log/syslog:** > Sep 16 13:11:07 client nfsidmap[7340]: nss\_getpwnam: name ‘cloudnode@localdomain’ does not map into domain ‘localdomain’ combined with this excerpt from NFSv4Howto If all directory listings show just “nobody” and “nogroup” instead of real user and group names, then you might want to check the Domain parameter set in /etc/idmapd.conf. NFSv4 client and server should be in the same domain. and this comment in **/etc/idmap.conf:** > set your own domain here, if id differs from FQDN minus hostname > Domain = localdomain So turns out my ESXi server thought its domain was localhost.localdomain: > localhost$ hostname -f > localhost.locadomain > localhost$ grep server /etc/hosts > 127.0.1.1 localhost.locadomain localhost while my client didn’t have a domain: > cloudnode$ hostname -f > cloudnode > cloudnode$ grep client /etc/hosts > 127.0.1.1 cloudnode **The fix: edit /etc/hosts on the client to read** > 127.0.1.1 cloudnode.localdomain cloudnode and rebooted, mounted the nfs on ESXi 5.5 and VMs were deployed. Thanks **Tino** for your guidance. Regards Kiran Ranjane
