Packages
The VCL Perl code running on a management node requires several additional Perl modules available from CPAN - The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. A search engine for CPAN modules is available at search.cpan.org.Some of the package prerequisites for the required Perl modules include the following. If they weren't following packages to be installed on the OS before installing the required Perl modules. These packages must be installed if they were not installed as part of your base Linux install, you may need to add them (using yum or rpm or whatever package management tool).. It is easiest to use the package management utility for your OS --- yum, rpm, or other.

A large amount of output will be displayed on the console the first time the script is run. It will pause if any of the module installations ask for configuration information. Accept all of the defaults by pressing enter when this happens.
Run the script a 2nd time to check if all of the modules the script is configured to install were successfully installed. Output similar to the following should be displayed for each module:

What to do if a Module is Missing
- Determine the name of the missing module by looking at the "Can't locate" line
- Search for the missing module on search.cpan.org and install it manually
How to Install a Perl Module Manually
- Change directories to /tmp:
cd /tmp - Download the module's source package using wget:
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.827.tar.gz - Unpack the source package using tar:
tar xzf libwww-perl-5.827.tar.gz - The previous command should have created a libwww-perl-5.827 directory, change to this directory:
cd libwww-perl-5.827 - Create a makefile with the following command:
perl Makefile.PL - Compile the module:
make - Test the module:
make test - Install the module:
make install
The last line you should see should be: No Format |
---|
/usr/bin/make install -- OK
|
How to Install a Perl Module Using CPAN
- Enter the CPAN shell:
perl -MCPAN -e shell - You will need to configure CPAN if it's the first time it is being run. Enter No at the first prompt to auto-configure the CPAN module.
- Search for a module using the "m" command:
m /Zlib/
You should find the module you were looking for on a line like this: No Format |
---|
Module Compress::Zlib (P/PM/PMQS/IO-Compress-2.020.tar.gz)
|
- Install the module:
install Compress::Zlib - Answer yes if asked to install any prerequisite modules
The last line you should see should be: No Format |
---|
/usr/bin/make install -- OK

The Sysprep utility is included in the Deployment Tools. You do not need to download Sysprep for Windows Vista or Server 2008 because it is included in the operating system.

Download Drivers
Drivers which aren't included with Windows must be downloaded and saved to the management node. The drivers required will vary greatly depending on the hardware. The only way to know what additional drivers you need is to install Windows on a computer and check for missing drivers.

- Chipset
- Network
- Storage
- Video
Add 3rd Party Mass Storage Driver IDs to sysprep.inf
This step is complicated. 3rd party mass storage hardware IDs and driver .inf file paths must be added to the SysprepMassStorage section in sysprep.inf for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 in order for the saved image to boot properly on different hardware.
- Identify the mass storage drivers required for your hardware which aren't native to Windows
- Download drivers for your hardware
- Each driver will have 1 or more .inf files. Examine the .inf files. Find all lines in this format containing a PnP device ID:
%DevDescD1% = SYMMPI_Inst, PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F041028
The PnP device ID in the example above is:
PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F041028unmigrated-wiki-markup - Each PnP device ID should be added to the sysprep.inf file under the \ [SysprepMassStorage\] section using the following format:
ID = "C:\Sysprep\Drivers\<driver directory>\<.inf file path>"
Example: LSI SAS drivers commonly need to be downloaded and the hardware IDs need to be added to the sysprep.inf files in order for computers with LSI SAS controllers to boot.
- Download the LSI SAS driver from ibm.com: ibm_dd_mptsas_1.30.02.00_windows_32-64.exe
- Extract the ZIP file (it's a self-extracting zip; you can unzip it with whatever unzip tool you prefer)
- Copy the files from the 32 bit XP directory (image/xp-32) to the appropriate directory on the management node:
tools/Windows/Drivers/Storage/LSI-SAS - Locate the .inf file included with the driver is:
tools/Windows/Drivers/Storage/LSI-SAS/symmpi.inf/Storage/LSI-SAS/symmpi.inf - Locate the PnP ID lines in the .inf file:

NOTICE: The WSName.exe utility is no longer available. The set_computer_name.vbs script which calls WSName.exe will be rewritten for the 2.2 release of VCL. In the meantime, this script is being left intact in case you have a previously released version of WSName.exe or are able to obtain it from another source.
The wsname.exe utility is used by VCL to name Windows computers. It does a reverse DNS lookup so that the computer name is set to the name registered for its public IP address. The utility is called by set_computer_name.vbs when a Windows image is loaded. The utility is not vital for the load process to work. However, the computer will receive a random name if the script is missing or fails to run.

Configure the SSH Client
To insure that the management node can SSH into your virtual machines without problems, you will need to edit the SSH client config for the root user:
No Format |
---|
vi /root/.ssh/config
|
Add the following lines to the top of the configuration file.
No Format |
---|
Host <vmhost> <vmhost ip>
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
|
Where:
- <vmhost> - Is a wildcard reference to the hostnames for your virtual machines.
- For example, if your VM hostnames look like: vmhost1, vmhost2, vmhost3.... then replace <vmhost> with "vmhost*"
- <vmhost ip> - Is a wildcard IP reference to the IPs used by your virtual machines.
- For example, if your VMs all have IP addresses starting with 10.0.0, then replace <vmhost ip> with "10.0.0.*"
This will insure that new VM hosts will not hang on the known hosts prompts when the management node attempts to connect to them for the first time.
