<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Hi,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Below is a short update of the current status of the driver in Juno.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">We managed to complete the following specs:</div>
<ul style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<li>Integration with oslo.vmware (<a href="https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/use-oslo-vmware.rst">https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/use-oslo-vmware.rst</a>)</li><li>Hot plug interface (<a href="https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-hot-plug.rst">https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-hot-plug.rst</a>)</li><li>Span refactor (https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-spawn-refactor.rst)</li></ul>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The following specs were implemented but did not manage to land:</div>
<ul style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<li>Ephemeral disk support (<a href="https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-ephemeral-disk-support.rst">https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-ephemeral-disk-support.rst</a>)</li><li>Storage based policies (<a href="https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-spbm-support.rst">https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-spbm-support.rst</a>)</li></ul>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The following specs were partially implemented – they need to be rebased after the spawn refactor:</div>
<ul style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<li>Spawning an OVA image (<a href="https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-driver-ova-support.rst">https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-driver-ova-support.rst</a>)</li><li>VSAN support (https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/vmware-vsan-support.rst) </li></ul>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">In addition to this the ESX driver is no longer supported.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In addition to this we have a number of critical bugs that are in review:</div>
<ul>
<li>Update to latest oslo.vmware (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121614">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121614</a>/)</li><li>VMware: Convert file_size to int (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/120309/)</li><li>VMware: fix exception when multiple compute nodes are running (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/108225">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/108225</a>)</li><li>VMware: fix regression for ‘TaskInProgress' (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121479">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121479</a>/)</li><li>VMware: prevent race condition with VNC port allocation (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/114548">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/114548</a>/)</li><li>VMware: fix VM rescue problem with VNC console (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/113908">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/113908</a>/)</li><li>VMware: support inventory folders (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/122017">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/122017</a>/)</li><li>vc driver breaks instances.hypervisor_hostname value (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/99623">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/99623</a>/)</li></ul>
<div>Hopefully we can get the above patches in (some may require a rebase …)</div>
