Subject: RE: [ovs-dev] [PATCH] Windows: Implement Hyper-V VIF discovery agent.

Hi Alin,

The issues compiler complained are all related to WMI. Have you checked if WMI 
is supported at all in Nano? We need WMI to monitor virtual switch and 
interface changes no matter what. Even powershell commands are based on WMI 
queries. If WMI is not available, I highly doubt if there is a way at all to 
implement the discovery agent.
[Alin Serdean] Powershell commandlets work. I.e.: get-vmswitch; new-vmswitch 
etc. Even our module for renaming works if we change to `Load` on this line: 
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/datapath-windows/misc/OVS.psm1#L21
WMI works but not all 
API's(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/api/index)  are fully 
available in .NET core. We could use other languages or probably implement it 
ourselves in .NET core.
Otherwise, can we install .NET framework on Nano?
[Alin Serdean] No, we can use only .NET core (https://github.com/dotnet/core)

 .
Best regards,
Yin Lin
