Adds support for hypervisor vmware ESX/ESXi server in OpenStack (Nova).
Key features included are,
1) Support for FLAT and VLAN networking model
2) Support for Guest console access through VMware vmrc
3) Integrated with Glance service for image storage and retrival
Documentation: A readme file at "doc/source/vmwareapi_readme.rst" encapsulates configuration/installation instructions required to use this module/feature.
2) Update document so that copy right notice doesn't appear in generated document
3) Now using self.flag(...) instead of setting the flags like FLAGS.vmwareapi_username by direct assignment.
4) Added the missing double quote at the end a string in vim_util.py
* Corrected docstrings as per pep0257 recommentations.
* Stream-lined the comments.
* Updated code with locals() where ever applicable.
* VIM : It stands for VMware Virtual Infrastructure Methodology. We have used the terminology from VMware. we have added a question in FAQ inside vmware_readme.rst in doc/source
* New fake db: vmwareapi fake module uses a different set of fields and hence the structures required are different. Ex: bridge : 'xenbr0' does not hold good for VMware environment and bridge : 'vmnic0' is used instead. Also return values varies, hence went for implementing separate fake db.
* Now using eventlet library instead and removed io_utils.py from branch.
* Now using glance.client.Client instead of homegrown code to talk to Glance server to handle images.
* Corrected all mis-spelled function names and corresponding calls. Yeah, an auto-complete side-effect!
Added the flags,
--vlan_interface=<Physical ethernet adapter name in VMware ESX host for vlan networking E.g vmnic0>
--network_driver=nova.network.vmwareapi_net [Optional, only for VLAN Networking]
--flat_network_bridge=<ESX Virtual Machine Port Group> [Optional, only for Flat Networking]
--console_manager=nova.console.vmrc_manager.ConsoleVMRCManager
--console_driver=nova.console.vmrc.VMRCSessionConsole [Optional for OTP (One time Passwords) as against host credentials]

nova/virt/guest-tools/guest_tool.sh as guest_tool.py

'guest_tool.py' is moved to 'etc/vmware_guest_tool.py'
* Moved image vmwareapi_blockdiagram.jpg from 'nova/virt/' to
'doc/source/images/' so that it'll be picked up by document build scripts.
* Moved vmwareapi_readme.rst from 'nova/virt/' to
'doc/source/' so that it'll be handled by document build scripts.
