Add the image to the VCL database. A row needs to be added to the following tables:
These rows need to be added to the database manually either by using SQL commands or phpMyAdmin. The following SQL statements assume the following properties of the image:
INSERT INTO `vcl`.`image` ( `id` , `name` , `prettyname` , `ownerid` , `platformid` , `OSid` , `imagemetaid` , `minram` , `minprocnumber` , `minprocspeed` , `minnetwork` , `maxconcurrent` , `reloadtime` , `deleted` , `test` , `lastupdate` , `forcheckout` , `maxinitialtime` , `project` , `size` , `architecture` , `description` , `usage` , `basedoffrevisionid` ) VALUES ( '7' , 'vmwarewinxp-base7-v1', 'No Apps (WinXP vmware)', '1', '1', '16', NULL , '512', '1', '1024', '100', NULL , '5', '0', '0', NOW(), '1', '0', 'vcl', '1500', 'x86', NULL , NULL , '0' );
INSERT INTO `vcl`.`imagerevision` ( `id` , `imageid` , `revision` , `userid` , `datecreated` , `deleted` , `datedeleted` , `production` , `comments` , `imagename` ) VALUES ( NULL , '7', '0', '1', NOW(), '0', NULL , '1', NULL , 'vmwarewinxp-base7-v1' )
INSERT INTO `vcl`.`resource` ( `id` , `resourcetypeid` , `subid` ) VALUES ( NULL , '13', '7' )

An imaging request needs to be manually inserted into the VCL database to begin the automated imaging process. You will need to know the management node ID and computer ID of the VM guest you are using. The following SQL statements assume the following:
INSERT INTO `vcl`.`request` ( `id` , `stateid` , `userid` , `laststateid` , `logid` , `forimaging` , `test` , `preload` , `start` , `end` , `daterequested` , `datemodified` ) VALUES ( '1' , '16', '1', '16', '', '1', '0', '0', NOW( ) , TIMESTAMPADD(MINUTE, 120, NOW()), NOW( ) , NULL );
INSERT INTO `vcl`.`reservation` ( `id` , `requestid` , `computerid` , `imageid` , `imagerevisionid` , `managementnodeid` , `remoteIP` , `lastcheck` , `pw` ) VALUES ( NULL , '1', '2', '7', '7', '1', NULL , NULL , NULL );
