When trying to run make test for HC::Manager, HC::Manager::VM tests fail.

[dkindlund]

Whenever I try to make test for this module I try to do the test and they just wont run so I have to use perl -Ilib/ t/honeyclient_manager_vm.t and I am getting multiple errors, any help on how to resolve these errors? This is on CentOS 5. {{{ [root@localhost HoneyClient-Manager-0.99]# perl Makefile.PL * Module::AutoInstall version 1.02 * Checking for Perl dependencies... [Core Features]

Looks like you failed 19 tests of 75.

[dkindlund]

Author: kindlund Hi,

It looks like these errors are specific to the perl code interacting with your instance of VMware Server. That said, I have a couple of questions:

1) What version/build of VMware Server are you running?

2) Is VMware Server running properly? For example, can you start up and properly shut down all active VMs registered on your system? If you don't have any created, please create a test VM and verify VMware Server is operating properly for you.

Or, we provided a test VM you can use, if you prefer. In your case, it is located at: /home/neo/FIRM/HoneyClient-Manager-0.99/t/test_vm/winXPPro.vmx

Try loading up the VMware Console, manually registering this VM, and powering it on. The test VM won't contain any OS, but you should see the BIOS load at least to where you get "Operating System not found."

3) Were there any other VMs running on the host system at the time when you performed these tests? The 'make test' call to HC::Manager::VM expects no other VMs to be running, since some of the tests are time-specific. If VMware Server is running (for example) 3 other VMs simultaneously, then it will take longer to complete each VM operation programmatically.

Please let me know if any of this was helpful.

Regards,

-- Darien

Author: anonymous Thank you for your response.

1.) VMware Server: 1.0.3 build-44356

2.) Well since I ran VMware Server on another install of CentOS 5 I assumed it would still work properly (without patching it with VMware-any-any*), I now see that it wont even run properly

{{{ Unable to change virtual machine power state: Couldn't determine owner of config file /home/neo/FIRM/HoneyClient-Manager-0.99/t/test_vm/winXPPro.vmx Check that a line for uid 49068 appears in /etc/passwd. }}}

So I am going to update my kernel and try again, I will get back to you and reconfigure vmware, and see if it will let me run it.

3.) There were no other Virtual Machines on there at the time.

However, I can create and run VMs just fine.

[dkindlund]

Author: kindlund No problem.

Okay, that version of VMware Server should work.

Actually, that error message you described doesn't mean VMware Server is broken, per se.

Specifically, it looks like you just need to do a "chown" on all the files in the archive that you extracted. See, this error message:

{{{ Unable to change virtual machine power state: Couldn't determine owner of config file /home/neo/FIRM/HoneyClient-Manager-0.99/t/test_vm/winXPPro.vmx Check that a line for uid 49068 appears in /etc/passwd. }}}

... this message means that VMware Server can't determine the owner of the .vmx file. If you were to do an "ls -alF" in that directory, you would probably see a bunch of numbers representing the user:group for each file.

In your case, let's say you had a user named "neo" and the group "users". You could fix the aforementioned problem, by issuing the following command:

{{{ chown -R neo:users /home/neo/FIRM/HoneyClient-Manager-0.99 }}}

Try this command first. If it still doesn't work, then you can try to reconfigure VMware Server and/or your kernel.

Looks like you failed 1 test of 94.

Something tells me I set up some network setting wrong. Also will I have to Chown the Firewall VM folder?

Also, whenever I try to make the test I always get confused output and it ceases to run right so I have to break out of it...but when I run

{{{ perl -Ilib/ t/honeyclient_manager_vm.t }}}

the tests are fine.

Thanks

Author: kindlund Also, you can't run "make test" on the HC::Manager code.

You have to run:

{{{ PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 make test }}}

Author: kindlund Okay, so here's the problem.

The HC::Manager::VM code is trying to figure out the IP address of a VM when it powers on. It does this check by scanning the /var/log/messages file. In order for the perl code to read this file, /var/log/messages must be chmod 0644.

When you power on a VM that tries to obtain a DHCP lease on the network, you should see the following entries in your log file: {{{ Aug 30 15:10:53 honeyclient3 vmnet-dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:29:5e:08:b1 via vmnet1 Aug 30 15:10:54 honeyclient3 vmnet-dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.202 to 00:0c:29:5e:08:b1 via vmnet1 Aug 30 15:10:54 honeyclient3 vmnet-dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.202 from 00:0c:29:5e:08:b1 via vmnet1 Aug 30 15:10:54 honeyclient3 vmnet-dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.0.202 to 00:0c:29:5e:08:b1 via vmnet1 }}}

If you're not seeing these entries in your logfile, then there are 2 possible issues:

1) Do a "ps ax | grep dhcpd" and see if the vmnet-dhcpd daemons are properly running on the host system. You can also make sure these are working properly by checking to see that the powered on VM has a valid IP address when it does a DHCP request.

2) Check your /etc/syslog.conf file and make sure these DHCP messages are not filtered out. It's possible that the DHCP messages may require logging at the debug level, in order for this information to be written to the syslog file.

Let me know if either (or both) of these suggestions work.

Author: mbridges Okay so the dhcp services for vmware are running

{{{ [root@localhost neo]# ps ax | grep dhcpd 2968 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/vmnet-dhcpd -cf /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf -lf /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases -pf /var/run/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet8.pid vmnet8 17301 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep dhcpd }}}

And I do not think dhcp messages are being filtered out. {{{

Log all kernel messages to the console.

Logging much else clutters up the screen.

kern.* /dev/console

Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.

Don't log private authentication messages!

.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;.* /var/log/messages

The authpriv file has restricted access.

authpriv.* /var/log/secure

.emerg

Save boot messages also to boot.log

Even if I start independently I can still not get the DHCP messages.

From when I loaded up testVM {{{ Sep 15 13:55:00 localhost kernel: /dev/vmnet: open called by PID 17363 (vmware-vmx) Sep 15 13:55:00 localhost kernel: /dev/vmnet: port on hub 1 successfully opened Sep 15 13:55:00 localhost kernel: /dev/vmmon[17373]: host clock rate change request 0 -> 19 }}}

[dkindlund]

Author: kindlund Okay, so this test VM has no operating system installed on it. What should happen is the VM tries to eventually do a PXE boot, where the BIOS-loaded PXE boot process attempts to get a DHCP lease from the network.

Load up VMware Console, power on the test VM manually. Do you see the VM attempting a PXE boot process? If not, could you go into the VMware BIOS and change it so that it does? I would be very surprised if this was the case. If so, maybe VMware changed the default BIOS to not PXE boot anymore... not 100% sure.

[dkindlund]

Author: mbridges Yes, it does do a PXE boot.

And it tries to get an IP address but...

{{{ CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0C 29 0D 5C 94 GUID: 564D50BE-B977-2756-7747-B38D4E0D5C94 PXE-E51: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received. }}}

[dkindlund]

Author: kindlund Okay, I see the problem.

The test VM uses the Host-Only network (vmnet1). By default, there should be an instance of vmnet-dhcpd running on your host system that handles DHCP queries on vmnet1.

So, in your case, when you did a "ps ax | grep dhcp", you only had this showing: {{{ 2968 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/vmnet-dhcpd -cf /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf -lf /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases -pf /var/run/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet8.pid vmnet8 }}}

The problem is, you need 2 separate vmnet-dhcpd instances running on both vmnet1 and vmnet8 interfaces, like this:

{{{ 14525 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/vmnet-dhcpd -cf /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf -lf /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases -pf /var/run/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet8.pid vmnet8 14533 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/vmnet-dhcpd -cf /etc/vmware/vmnet1/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf -lf /etc/vmware/vmnet1/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases -pf /var/run/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet1.pid vmnet1 }}}

See how the second instance is specifc to vmnet1? If you've configured your VMware Server's networking properly, as stated in the UserGuide, you should be able to restart the main vmware service (i.e., "sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart") and that should start up the vmnet-dhcpd service for vmnet1.

Hope this helps,

[dkindlund]

Author: mbridges After reconfiguring vmware and running the tests over and over again...74 finally passed.

The logs are populated with vmware-dhcp messages and dhcp is running for vmnet1.

Thank you for all of your help. If I have another issue I will just make another ticket.

[dkindlund]

Author: kindlund No problem. Glad to have helped.
