Hi,

I get below error when I try to instantiate OnePC-Ubuntu-14.04.5 profile from cord-testdrive project.

This profile will not work on any clusters. Please check your profile or parameters for errors. If you are sure they are correct, you can report the problem to sup...@cloudlab.us and make sure to link to the problematic profile

I am getting this error since last week. I was able to create nodes with this profile successfully earlier.

Can you let me know your inputs on this issue.

Regards,

Nandini

Hi. The image that is used by this profile was deleted by the person that
created the image. You need to talk to other members of the project to
determine what to do.

Hi Nandini,

Use this profile:

https://www.cloudlab.us/show-profile.php?uuid=007e1e9b-6f0f-11e6-ac8b-90e2ba22fee4

This has been updated recently, and the other one was a clone of it that fell out of date

Leigh, could that broken profile be administratively deleted? It doesn't work, so it's just a nuisance.

Thanks,
Zack

Well, the profile is owned by Kiwi Lin and I am reluctant to delate it
without permission from him or the project leader (Andy).

Do you know Kiwi, do you want to contact him?

Do you have an email list/group for CORD users? Maybe you can announce
what that is so that Cloudlab users doing CORD work have a place to ask
CORD questions?

Thanks!
Leigh

I don't - this person isn't on our chat channel or email lists, and I'm thinking the profile was made in error. I dropped him/her an email.

Instead of deleting it, we could prefix the name with `deprecated` or `broken` or some other similar way to avoid invoking the non-working profile?

I went ahead and "disabled" the profile; users will get an error message
telling them it cannot be instantiated.
