Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:45:05 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/save-hypervisor-version-as-string.

Description:

The hypervisor_version reported by vmwareapi, powervm, hyperv and the fake driver all use strings as their version number. Currently, the hypervisor_version is being saved as an integer in the compute_nodes table. It would be consistent and more convenient to store it as a string, which would avoid the need to convert it to int.
