VMware: support ephemeral disks (partial - no resize)
Current VMware Hyper doesn't support ephemeral disk and doesn't honor root disk size of a flavor .
This blueprint will enhance the current VMware Hyper to support ephemeral disk and different root disk size based on flavor.

I would like to see some discussion around this topic and how it will work with VMware templates and other techniques people have discussed adding to the driver. --hartsocks

Ehance VMware Hyper instance disk usage.
From IRC discussion:
* grow and shrink(?) a VMDK to match the size specified in the flavor.
* attach new disks that only live as long as the VM you attach them to
* possible dependency on blueprint vmware-

[alaski] Since there are reviews up and in progress for this blueprint I'm assuming it's intended for Icehouse so I've set the series and milestone. Please modify them if I'm mistaken.

Renamed, to better reflect what this is doing, if it had this name before, it would have got a higher priority --johnthetubaguy
Apologies, this missed the deadline for Feature Freeze. Please rebase patches as soon as Juno opens, and we will try to get this in during that period. --johnthetubaguy (5th March 2014)
Unapproved - please re-submit via nova-spec --johnthetubagy (20th March 2014)
I have re-proposed this for Juno: https:/

VMWare: spawn refactor - phase 1 - create_virtual_disk
We need some code for this to be up for review, but moved to medium priority due for feature parity reasons --johnthetubaguy (24th June 2014)
Seems unlikely right now for juno, moving to low priority --johnthetubaguy 29th July 2014
Feature Proposal Freeze means this must not land in juno, because it appears like the code is not all currently ready to be reviewed. To be able to merge in kilo, we would first need to merge a kilo spec. More details on the exact process will be available on the ML shortly. --johnthetubaguy 22nd August 2014

So under kilo rules, this doesn't need a spec, I can just approve this BP. --johnthetubaguy (8th October 2014)
