Nova VMWare provisioning errors

[coolshiva123]

I am trying to provision a RHEL VMWare image (custom vmdk created through template)

Openstack dashboard shows provisioning status for a long time, however no activity on vCenter. PS- CirrOS VMDK (Conveterted from qemu-img gets deployed with out errors)

Request help here

Hi,
Can you please let us know how you uploaded the image into glance?
Thanks
Gary

[coolshiva123 (coolshiva123)]

Here is the Glance upload command

[root@controller ~]# glance image-create --name rhel_vmdk --is-public=True --container-format=bare --disk-format=vmdk --property vmware_disktype="preallocated" < test_temp_rhel-flat.vmdk

Here is the vmware image details

[root@controller ~]# cd /images
[root@controller images]# cd

Hi coolshiva123,

I would be interested to fix this issue - could you please let me know the following information:
- which version of openstack are you using? (trunk?)
- which version of vcenter are you using? 5.1? 5.5?
- did you override the session timeout values in vpxd.cfg?
- which glance backend are you using?
- are you able to boot other images? is it only this one that is giving this exception?

thanks,
Arnaud
