Hi,
We would like to indicate that we do not support versions below 5.1.0 of
the VC. Is anyone aware of people using versions below with OpenStack.
Patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/183711/ proposes exiting Nova
compute if a lower version is used.
Thanks
Gary

Cross-posting to the operators mailing list.

Also note the kilo docs mention supporting less than 5.0:

http://docs.openstack.org/kilo/config-reference/content/vmware.html

But 4.x was EOL over a year ago:

Also note that the NSX CI (vmware CI) originally ran with vcenter 5.1 
and is now running 5.5.

 We're supporting a minimum version of libvirt from 2014, so I think that
 dropping support for five-year-old EOL'd VMware is good. We don't test
 it, which means it's probably broken. I also feel like this is a thing
 we can do without a deprecation cycle, assuming there aren't a ton of
 users still using unsupported commercial software out there.

The proposed patch also drops support for 5.0, which as I understand it is not 
EOL'd? The documentation appears to indicate that some functionality will not 
work with  5.1, but it's not explicitly clear what that it is.

Thanks,

Steve

Yeah, I guess I assumed that anyone on 5.0 was just late moving to
=5.1, where people on 4.x might have a license standing in their way.

Maybe refusing 5.0 and warning about 5.5 (which is what is now being
tested) is the right thing to do?
