Hello all,

 

I’ve a problem with “knife vsphere” in a chef 11.4.0 environment.

 

When creating, starting and bootstrapping a VM with “knife vsphere”, through the following command :

knife vsphere vm clone "testknife" --template "Ubuntu Server 12.04 11_02_2013" -f "Modèles" --resource-pool "epsilon.jalios.net" --ssh-user "*****" --ssh-password "*****" --cips 192.168.0.230/24 --cgw 192.168.0.253 --chostname testknife --cdnsips 192.168.x.x --cvlan "Reseau local" --cdnssuffix jalios.net –start –bootstrap –fqdn serveurchef.jalios.net

In this command, you're specifying a bootstrap template, which appears to be installing ruby from packages and then installing ruby gems from source.

 

Everything goes fine until bootstrapping :

serveurchef.jalios.net Impossible de trouver le paquet libruby-extras

serveurchef.jalios.net

serveurchef.jalios.net E

serveurchef.jalios.net :

serveurchef.jalios.net Impossible de trouver le paquet libruby1.8-extras

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

If I don’t bootstrap the VM with “knife vsphere”, though, but through a regular “knife bootstrap” command, everything goes fine :

192.168.0.230 Thank you for installing Chef!

This is the default bootstrap template that uses https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh to install the omnibus packages.
