Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-19 05:01:48 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/autowsdl-repair.

Description:

older vSphere releases will have a problem in the WSDL files that will cause a problem with SUDS. A simple tool chain can allow system administrators the ability to cache their WSDL files locally on their Nova compute node so that they do not have to create custom WSDL or resort to other work-arounds to properly create SOAP connections.

Phase 1:
* provide a WSDL cache/repair CLI tool specific to VMware driver - alleviates initial problem

Phase 2:
* provide a transient file system cache for the VMware driver that automatically fixes and hides the WSDL issues so that administrators need not be aware of the problem.

Step 1: download WSDL from target
Step 2: repair WSDL for use with Python SUDS
Step 3: point Python SUDS at repaired WSDL
