Hi Rajshree,

I presume you are using the driver configuration in right cinder config
file? The default is /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file. Would you mind sharing
the entire conf file contents so that I can look at the scheduler options?
The defaults should work for ESX though.

>From the log snippet it looks like cinder-volume is having trouble
collecting capabilities from hosts. Could you check cinder-volume logs as
well?

I am sure you would have already looked into
http://docs.openstack.org/havana/config-reference/content/vmware-vmdk-driver.htmlfor
configuration details.

Regards,
Subbu
