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_1F041028
Wiki MarkupEach 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
Locate the PnP ID lines in the .inf file: \[LSI\]

WSName - Workstation Name Changing Utility

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.

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.

Configure vcld.conf

Create the /etc/vcl directory:
mkdir /etc/vcl
Copy the generic vcld.conf file to /etc/vcl:
cp /usr/local/vcl/etc/vcl/vcld.conf /etc/vcl
Edit the /etc/vcl/vcld.conf file:
vi /etc/vcl/vcld.conf
The following lines must be configured in order to start the VCL daemon (vcld) and allow it to check in to the database:
- FQDN - the fully qualified name of the management node, this should match the name that was configured for the management node in the database
- server - the IP address or FQDN of the database server
- LockerWrtUser - database user account with write privileges
- wrtPass - database user password
Save the vcld.conf file
