Hi Devananda,
Thanks for your reply. Your link shows how to create a VM through vSphere. What 
we are doing is to how to deploy vSphere to bare metal server, so that 
automation can be from installation, deployment, to configuration, to VM 
creation.
Hi Chris,
We do use diskimage-builder to create ubuntu image, kernel, initfs, and deploy 
ubuntu through Ironic API successful. However, seems like diskimage-builder 
doesn't support vmware, so we don't know how to extract vmware kernel, initfs 
from vmware image, such as 
http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/vmdkimage/debian-2.6.32-i686.vmdk. So 
wonder to know whether anyone has done this before.
Best RegardsLeslie

Hi Chao,
The ironic ssh driver does support vmware. See 
https://github.com/openstack/ironic/blob/master/ironic/drivers/modules/ssh.py#L69-L89.
 Have you seen the Triple-O tools, mainly Disk Image Builder 
(https://github.com/openstack/diskimage-builder). This is how I build images I 
use for testing. I have not tested the vmware parts of ironic as I do not have 
a vmware server to test with, others have tested it. 
Hope this helps.

ChaoYan,

Are you asking about using vmware as a test platform for developing
Ironic, or as a platform on which to run a production workload managed
by Ironic? I do not understand your question -- why would you use
Ironic to manage a VMWare cluster, when there is a separate Nova
driver specifically designed for managing vmware? While I am not
familiar with it, I believe more information may be found here:

Devananda

Hi, thank you for you help !
I was asking about a platform on which to run a production workload managed
by Ironic.
Yes, there is a separate Nova driver specifically designed for managing
vmware.
But can we deploy a bare metal into VMWare ESXI?
Or can we use vmware driver and at the same time , use Libvert driver ?
Can we manage both bare metal and kvm (or ESXI or xen ) at the same time in
an openstack cluster  ?


*Best Regards！*
