As VIO cannot be used for "proper" OpenStack usage due to there begin no Images that can be used for OpenStack and these images be used for SSH and/or Password Injection or can Instances be resized when using templates from vCenter. This overrides everything OpenStack and we have mistakenly installed and configured VIO and deployed over 180 Instances so I guess we are stuck with it.
To overcome this we want to install another hypervisor namesly KVM so we can use this hypervisor for the Instances that require resizing and other proper OpenStack options.
Can another hypervisor we added to an existing VIO deployment? IS it possible to deploy KVM in a host and then add that host to VIO ??
It is unfortunate that VMware do not provide Images and do not provide guides on using Images so that customers can use OpenStack with all the features of KVM.... I believe with the money that has been outlayed for NSX and all the other costs it would be nice to be able to use VIO in its fullest capacity. Maybe we are missing something but not having Linux Images that can be used for resizing, SSH Key injection is a massive downfall....If someone has a solution we would even be willing to pay handsomely for someone to create Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian images yet from what we have researched I do not think it is possible.
So if adding a KVM hypervisor to VIO is possible this would solve our issue as we can keep our normal Instances and new Linux Instances we can use KVM so customers can use SSH keys and benefit from image resizing.
