I am trying to change the Hypervisor of VM created on Open stack. For this I am using "http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/openstack-compute/admin/content/vmware.html" guide.

After making changes to nova.conf it is still not deployed on ESX host.

Steps followed by me: 1) installed tomcat6 2) downloaded SDK from http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/ and placed to "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/vmware/SDK/vsphere-ws/wsdl/vim25" 3) Made entries in nova.conf vmwareapi_host_ip=192.168.2.200 vmwareapi_host_username=root vmwareapi_host_password=something vmwareapi_wsdl_loc=http://127.0.0.1:8080/vmware/SDK/vsphere-ws/wsdl/vim25/vimService.wsdl

Then I tried deploying a VM , but could not see anything on ESX host by vsphere client , ie its not hosted on ESX.

Have I missed any step? As I haven't removed anything from nova.conf regarding libvert but add few lines for vmware only.

These are my nova.conf entries. Now I can not Launch an Instance. Getting status as error and no logs for it. (May be I don't no where should I look for logs)
