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.

Best Regards
-- Ray
