| ASF Incubation Disclaimer: Apache VCL is an effort undergoing incubation at the |
| Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. |
| Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review |
| indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process |
| have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While |
| incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or |
| stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully |
| endorsed by the ASF. |

| Management Node Backend Conditional System Requirements: |
| - Bare-metal and virtual machine provisioning |
| Both bare-metal and virtual machine provisioning require a DHCP server running |
| on the management node listening on the private network. |
| - Bare-metal provisioning |
| If you want to provision bare-metal or physical computers such as blades. You |
| will need xCAT setup and working. This release supports either xCAT 1.3 or |
| xCAT 2.x. This is useful for very large setups, very custom environments, HPC |
| integration, automating VM host servers either ESX standard or VMware Free |
| Server. Imaging support using xCAT 2.x is an add on feature. To enable imaging |
| for xCAT2.X See adding support for partimage and partimage-ng to xCAT 2.x in the vcl apache wiki. |
| - VMware virtual machine provisioning |
| If you want to provision virtual machines on ESX,ESXi, or VMWare Free server 2.x you will need the |
| VMware vSphere toolkit. This toolkit can be obtained from: |
| http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/ |
| This toolkit is a set of Perl modules. The toolkit is not required if using |
| VMware Free server 1.x. |
| - Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008 |
| If provisioning Windows OS, you will need the following: |
| - Sysprep - used for preparing Windows environments before an image is |
| captured |
| - Jabber Instant Message Notification(optional)s |
| VCL has the ability to send instant message notifications using Jabber. This |
| feature is optional and can be enabled or disabled by configuring the |
| "jabber=[yes|no]" property in the vcld.conf file. If Jabber notification |
| feature is enabled, the following Perl modules need to be installed: |
| - Net-Jabber |
