Re: [openstack-dev] VMware VCenter Driver
Ray, Actually, you can. There is an ESX driver in OpenStack as well as vCenter. However, it does not have benefits of vSphere/vCenter, like DRS. It would probably help if you described your use case and specify why you want to identify every ESXi host. -- Best regards, Oleg Gelbukh Mirantis Inc.

Re: [openstack-dev] VMware VCenter Driver
Oleg, Thanks for your response. The minimal requirement of our customer is to know the status of each ESXI server on the OpenStack, also they want to know where is the vm running now. In short, they want OpenStack as the single portal of their cloud and can manage all their resource, but they don't want to lose any advanced features like DRS.

[openstack-dev] VMware VCenter Driver
Hi Stackers, I just looked into the VMware Vcenter Driver, seems it manages a vcenter cluster as a single compute node, even it contains more than 1 physical servers. It's not very connivence to know what's the real resource I had in my cluster. Is there any reason why we don't identify every ESXI host in OpenStack? Thanks.
