Hi:

Below is some information about the mail from Hai Quan Chen:

In our lab, our OpenStack (Grizzly) can connect to vCenter to view OS
machines and images. It needs two IBM production: SCE and Smartcloud.

EXSI 5.1, 5.0 4.x are supported.

For now it can only review these OS resources and can not manage OS
resources such as deploy/start/stop. We lack customization steps.

Thanks & Best Regards ,
Kai KT Tong

ESXi 5.x could virtualize on Mac hardware.

In my lab, I have a running ESXi on Mac mini server, which connects to
Openstack via vCenter.

As recently as last year a former employer of mine was looking into
it, but the issue turned out to be one of licensing. Apple didn't
license OS X for running on any hardware except their own, so while
there were some ways to make it technically possible it was not
_legally_ possible. This also seems to be reflected in VMware's
knowledge base now...
