vSphere plugin does not starts slave
 
|
Hi!
I use VMware ESXi 4.0 with the vSphere plugin, and slave VM does not being started. It is always stuck on Powering on VM state (at least based on logs). The Test VM Connection passes. openSUSE Linux 11.4 Jenkins ver. 1.479 (installed from pkg.jenkins-ci.org/opesuse started by the init script of the package). Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b05) vSphere plugins is the latest installable. Please help me...

How is the slave agent being started? Does the VM connect via Java Web Start? Is Jenkins supposed to start the slave agent via SSH?
If via Java Web Start, make sure the the slave agent really did start. If via SSH, make sure that the VM has enough time to fully start (wait for VM Tools plus any necessary delay) so that the SSH server is online before Jenkins tries to communicate.

I set slave activation via SSH. But the main problem is VM does not
powered on. So, my problem is not the VM not boots up and connects to master, but nobody pushes the power button on it... (and yes, because it not powered on, it does not connects to the master :-) ) If i turn on VM manually, Jenkins recognizes it and starts slave process correctly, however, this is not I really want (turn on VM every case when I need it). I would like if Jenkins can turn on/off VM on demand.

Just to confirm, we are talking about the vSphere Cloud plugin?
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/vSphere+Cloud+Plugin
Assuming that you are, the Test VM Connection button does work and indicates no problems? What are the slave settings?

Yes, that is the plugin what i use. No, test vm connection button does not says any problems. I cannot access my jenkins now, but i'll post screenshot about settings asap. Garami Gábor Sent from my T-Mobile G2 2012.09.05. 15:53, "Jason Swager" <[hidden email]> ezt írta:

Your configurations all look good. When Jenkins tries to start the slave, do you see any commands at all appearing in vSphere? At the very least, I would hope to see a power on event.

Strange question, but can it cause a problem I use https in vSphere URL? And, this is not really a vSphere cloud but a single ESXi server...

Re: vSphere plugin does not starts slave

I believe that HTTPS is the ONLY allowed way of connecting.
The plugin will work with a vCenter installation or with single ESXi hosts. BUT - the ESXi host must be fully licensed, otherwise the remote APIs won't work, which is how the plugin works with the VMs. If you get the free ESXi host with it's free license, the remote APIs are disabled and the plugin won't work. I'll update the wiki page for this...

Then that's why it is not works. And there is no waz to change? I think vSphere client is stops/starts instances somehow.... I'll take a closer look, because iirc libvirt can manage free esxi hosts. Garami Gábor Sent from my T-Mobile G2 2012.09.07. 17:08, "Jason Swager" <[hidden email]> ezt írta:

According to VMware, there only remote API on the free ESXi is read-only - you cannot "write", such as make changes. The vSphere client does use the
write aspect of the remote API, but HOW is not published. All of the various APIs, both by VMware and by third parties have a clause indicating they will work read-only with free ESXi. That makes me rather curious as to how libvirt can manage the free ESXi - or are they just using the read-only aspect. On Saturday, September 8, 2012 4:14:45 AM UTC-7, Gábor Garami wrote:
