From 45ca7b71a8e749cbd9b7729b922190e9aaa53744 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sateesh Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:54:02 +0530 Subject: * Updated document vmware_readme.rst to mention VLAN networking * 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! --- doc/source/vmwareapi_readme.rst | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'doc/source') diff --git a/doc/source/vmwareapi_readme.rst b/doc/source/vmwareapi_readme.rst index b56cae074..fb0e42b80 100644 --- a/doc/source/vmwareapi_readme.rst +++ b/doc/source/vmwareapi_readme.rst @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ The basic requirement is to support VMware vSphere 4.1 as a compute provider wit The 'vmwareapi' module is integrated with Glance, so that VM images can be streamed from there for boot on ESXi using Glance server for image storage & retrieval. -Currently supports Nova's flat networking model (Flat Manager). +Currently supports Nova's flat networking model (Flat Manager) & VLAN networking model. .. image:: images/vmwareapi_blockdiagram.jpg @@ -213,3 +213,7 @@ FAQ * VMware VMRC based consoles are supported.
