RHEL 7.1 - error during buildout about mist-ce HOT 5 CLOSED

Update --
This happened after using ./bin/pip install pyvmomi in order to support vSphere. This error occurs because the two folders "PyVmomi" and "PyVim" don't exist. Creating the folders manually allowed the buildout to complete, but I have not yet tested whether vSphere functions work.

You are right, pyvmomi packaging seems to be broken and messes with files. If you git clone mist.io repository, create the virtualenv, and run ./bin/pip install pyvmomi it will mess 1-2 files, so git stash is needed in order for the buildout to be run. Thanks for noticing this!

Thanks. I wiped it out and started again from scratch, without pyvmomi. Now it installs and runs but trying to add a baremetal server I get "failed to add backend - service not running"

from mist-ce.

check that all services are up and running with

./bin/supervisorctl status

if not a tail -f var/log/*.log might show what is the problem. Sometimes epmd is not running, so check it is running and if not start it with epmd -daemon. If it can't start maybe some dependency is not installed (eg erlang).

from mist-ce.

If the service is not working as expected, run an

./bin/supervisorctl status

and see what service is not running (all should be running for mist.io to run well).
Also have a look on the logs

tail -f /home/mist/mist.io/var/log/*.log

if rabbitmq is not running (a usual suspect!) check that epmd is running, and if not start it with

epmd -daemon

All system dependencies should be installed, otherwise the installation won't be successful
