If you have problems deploying you can use a few vmc commands to help diagnose the problem. Here is an example

>vmc crashes hello-spring

+----------------+----------------------------------+--------------------+
| Name           | Instance ID                      | Crashed Time       |
+----------------+----------------------------------+--------------------+
| hello-spring-1 | 2801de2c3c202ea58c16b1e30285a22a | 04/12/2011 12:15PM |
| hello-spring-2 | 861c8e8b2105cadc01df11b9d5e435c7 | 04/12/2011 12:15PM |
| hello-spring-3 | 3427ff302dcb575302a324f0b774b7c7 | 04/12/2011 12:15PM |
| hello-spring-4 | 19253968dd3cf03d694b6e14f71b723e | 04/12/2011 12:15PM |
+----------------+----------------------------------+--------------------+
