Re: Serengeti .8 Cluster Create fails with "Do not give vc_clusters' info"

[Emma Lin]

nathan,

From the cluster spec file testHadoop.json file, in the "cloud_provider" section, there should have datastore and vc cluster/resource pool information. This error is because missing those information.

Generally, after Serengeti server is deployed under VC cluster/Resource Pool, the resource pool and data store, where Serengeti server located, will be added into Serengeti Meta DB, and that information will be passed to Cloud Manager, to put the deployed hadoop cluster.

You can check your system through CLI command "datastore list --detail" and "resourcepool list --detail".

For how to change those information, please check our user guide.

thanks
Emma

Hi,

We're running Serengeti 0.8 and trying to deploy our first Hadoop cluster.

Here's the relevant portion of the task stdout and I've attached all the logs I could think of.

Creating machines in Cloud
[2013-05-13 21:58:13 +0000] INFO: begin action:create

CONFIG WARN: unknown config item: vc_clusters

The managemnt-server can see the Vcenter server and has discovered the right Datacenter. what else can I look at?

thanks,
-nathan

Also please have a look at /opt/Serengeti/logs/firstboot.stderr, and see if any error there that might prevent the information written into meta db.

Thanks,

Jun

Yes, serengeti does not support white spaces for cluster names. Here is the latest serengeti user guide at http://serengeti.cloudfoundry.com/pdf/Serengeti%20User%20Guide_0.8.pdf

That might help your deployment.

Thanks all. It looks like our problem is that most of our Cluster names have spaces in them. Serengeti does not appear to like this, whether or not I escape the space or quote the string:

resourcepool add --name testSerengeti --vccluster "Test 5.1i" --vcrp testSerengeti



I am going to try to deploy serengeti on another cluster and make the Windows admins rename the clusters to NOT USE spaces!

Just  a note -- after renaming our vSphere Clusters more sensibly I was able to deploy a Hadoop cluster fairly easily.

thanks all,

I'm getting the exact same error message but I don't think mine has anything to do with naming. I have a very generic setup that i controll. I'm not sure what a vc_cluster is or what it means to create machines in cloud. 

Here is the log from /opt/serengeti/log/task/1/stdout.log
