Hi, I suggest that you make use of the variable cache_prefix. https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/vmwareapi/vmops.py#L156 The IP address just creates havoc… Thanks Gary From: Vaidyanath Manogaran <vaidyanath.m at gmail.com> Date: Monday, August 1, 2016 at 2:25 PM To: "openstack at lists.openstack.org" <openstack at lists.openstack.org>, "community at lists.openstack.org" <community at lists.openstack.org> Subject: [Openstack] nova+vmware doesn't create the cached image in ipaddress_base folder nova boot fails as the image created with oslo_vmware/api.py is creating the vm outside the base folder. though the x.x.x.x_base folder is present it is not creating it inside the vm my cofiguration is as follows. 1. controller and compute node in one vcenter server 2. the compute manages a different vcenter server. 3. All the hosts in the cluster is shared with the same and many other datastores 4. I have many clusters apart from the one which i am managing currently. which would be managed later Any help here would be appreciable. -- Regards, Vaidyanath -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
