Hi All,
The problem is solved by pointing vmware_wsdl_location parameter to
right location where VMware SDK placed.
Now I could successfully attach cinder volumes to instances. However, I
had to reboot the instance to get it to
pick up the attached volume.
Is there a way to pick up the attached volume without rebooting guest
virtual machine?
Regards,
