Re: [HTCondor-users] VM Universe user advice?

[Nathan Yehle <nyehle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is what I use for a vmware job::
[nyehle@nighthawk] (5)$ cat vmtestnfy.sub
universe = vm
executable = linux.iso
vm_type = vmware
 vm_networking = true
vm_networking_type=nat
vmware_dir = vm2
vm_memory = 4000
vmware_should_transfer_files = YES
vmware_snapshot_disk = false
request_memory = $(vm_memory) + 4
log = vmtest_$(Cluster)_$(Process).log
notification = NEVER
queue
where my vm images are in the vm2 directory submitted as the job:
[nyehle@nighthawk] (7)$ ls -l /scratch/vm2
total 7718576
-rw-r--r-- 1 nyehle nyehle   67330048 Feb 26  2013 linux.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 nyehle nyehle       8684 Jan 25 18:05 v-node.nvram
-rw-r--r-- 1 nyehle nyehle 7836467200 Jan 25 18:05 v-node.vmdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 nyehle nyehle          0 Jun 18  2013 v-node.vmsd

-rw-r--r-- 1 nyehle nyehle       3426 Aug 12 09:10 v-node.vmxf

the vm will have to boot up, run your work, and then shutdown on its own 
in
order for this to work like a normal job.
