Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-13 16:51:25 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/vmware-api.

Description:

There is lot of common code between VMware drivers for nova, cinder and glance; for e.g., session management and VIM API invocation code. The current plan is to move the following code in cinder into OSLO:
* session management in  api.py
* vim api invocation code in api.py and vim.py
* utility methods defined in vim_util.py
* code for image transfer between glance and VMware servers defined in vmware_images.py, io_util.py and read_write_util.py
