One of the compute node is a basic QEMU and the other one is a VMware compute node using the VMwareESXDriver. On the controller, I have configured Neutron using OpenVSwitch.</p><p>Everything works fine with a VM created on the QEMU hypervisor. But when I create a VM with cirrOS on VMware via Openstack, the network interfaces are not recognized by the OS. I can see thanks to Vsphere Client that the VM has a network adapter connected
to br-int but nothing in the OS (no eth0).</p><p>I'm wondering if the problem comes from OpenVSwitch. I've read in some docs that OpenVSwitch is not compatible with a VMware compute node.
