NovaVMware

This is the sub-team page for those working on the VMware driver in Nova. This sub-team is no longer active. As of 2023.1 (Antelope) the VMware driver in nova has been deprecated and marked experimental and is planned to be removed in 2024.1. As a result eh info on this page and sub pages is no longer relevant to nova development and can be ignored.

Unit Tests

Coverage needs a lot of help, see:

System Tests

• Need to explore running tempest tests with vSphere driver.

Open Documentation Items

• Documentation has not yet been updated for Grizzly. Thus, it is way out of date and unusable.
