Possible issues with the BPM and V2V Server
...
The working folder for V2V Conversions is /opt/abiquo/v2v-conversions.
The completed conversions are stored in the catalogue in the formats folder.
...
Check the v2v-diskmanager process is running - see Service Management#v2v-diskmanager: .
ps aux | grep v2v

ps aux | grep mechadora

...
The V2V properties are shown in the following sample file (by default this is: /opt/abiquo/config/examples/abiquo.properties.v2v)
Sample abiquo.properties on V2V Server
| Code Block |
|---|
[remote-services] abiquo.rabbitmq.host = <RabbitMQ-Server-IP> abiquo.rabbitmq.port = 5672 abiquo.rabbitmq.username = guest abiquo.rabbitmq.password = guest abiquo.datacenter.id = Abiquo |
You should set abiquo.rabbitmq.host to the IP address of the RabbitMQ Server. The default is the Abiquo Server.
The abiquo.datacenter.id should be a unique value for each datacenter and the same value as for the Remote Services server.
The other values should be set to appropriate values for your installation of RabbitMQ. You do not need to change these values for a default installation.
See Abiquo configuration properties
