This will probably not work for the vmware driver since it does not return a standard uptime string. Here's an example of what you would get:
$ nova hypervisor-uptime 1
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| hypervisor_hostname | domain-c7(OpenStackCluster) |
| id | 1 |
| uptime | Please refer to 10.0.7.1 for the uptime |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
