Re: Vcl and vmware HA
Not is this upcoming release. With VMware HA, it's easily handled by vcenter if you have the correct licenses... With the libvirt module - this release is going to support kvm. Libvirt also supports vmware, but that would need to be added in later if necessary. The current work that Aaron Coburn and Andy Kurth have done with the VMWare prov module are fairly robust, so I'm not sure if the libvirt-vmware part is needed. On the kvm side, there would need to be HA logic built into the libvirt-kvm module. Or there would need to be a work done to talk to RHEV - Red Hat's equivalent to vcenter, but for kvm hypervisors. Others may also have other thoughts on this. It's ideal (probably needed) as we get into more server based provisioning to have HA functionality for the kvm, it would be good to start designing this part out and possibly target a later release 2.3.x .

Yes, we are using vMotion with our ESX hosts. It involved writing a custom provisioning module which is slated to be part of the next VCL release.
