* Bundle local VM , will take 1-2 hours ..., you may need to specify the kernel & ramdisk (values below worked in November 2010). For the 64-bit VM is generated below:
>sudo euca-bundle-vol -c $EC2_CERT -k $EC2_PRIVATE_KEY -u $EC2_USER_ID --ec2cert $EUCALYPTUS_CERT -d /image -e /image --no-inherit -r x86_64 --kernel eki-AEC117E0 --ramdisk eri-175C1933 --fstab /mnt/eucaBuild/euca-vfstab
...
OUTPUT:
GROUP default
PERMISSION default ALLOWS tcp 22 22 FROM CIDR 0.0.0.0/0
* Connect to the instance
> ssh -i ./balewski-euca.private root@128.55.56.57
* Terminate instance
> euca-terminate-instances i-31D50646
...
-bash-3.2$ ls -l /global/common/carver/tig/euca2ools/1.2/bin/|grep key
For 32-bit image change kernel to:
>sudo euca-bundle-vol -c $EC2_CERT -k $EC2_PRIVATE_KEY -u $EC2_USER_ID --ec2cert $EUCALYPTUS_CERT -d /image -e /image --no-inherit -r i386 --kernel eki-B15217F6 --ramdisk eri-19791933

Generating manifest
* uplad bundle to Eucalyptus with name 'star-vm-SL10c-ubuntu-i386', will take many hours depending on connection & total size

Potential problems:
- synchronization of local clock, can be fixed with command
> sudo ntpdate hickory.nersc.gov - check if key-pair generation succeded, list content of 'balewski-euca.private' if it does not look like a valid key and you can't find the old key you can remove the old public key from Eucalyptus using command euca-delete-keypair
- if you can't ssh to a custom made VM and see the error
ssh: connect to host 128.55.56.63 port 22: Connection refused
verify the ssh server is running on a local copy on this VM by typing:
ssh localhost
If you see the same error install ssh server- on Ubuntu do:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client - ssh fails: check content of the console: euca-get-console-output 'image-id'
