This will now require a separate section "Use Cases". This was originally within "Problem description", but use cases seems to be missed when it was filled out. This will hopefully improve spec submission. Change-Id: I3615ca5ff5c46851e682739a8343242e2f1b0a8d

Integrate VMDK driver with oslo.vmware library
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/vmdk-oslo.vmware
The common code between various VMware drivers was moved to the oslo.vmware library during Icehouse release. The VMDK driver should be updated to use this library.
Problem description
The oslo.vmware library (https://github.com/openstack/oslo.vmware) contains code for invoking VIM/SPBM APIs, session management, API retry and upload/download of virtual disks. The VMware drivers for nova, glance and ceilometer have already integrated with oslo.vmware. This spec proposes the integration of VMDK driver with oslo.vmware.
Use Cases
Proposed change
- Changes are mostly replacing import statements for the following
modules:
- Replace api with oslo.vmware.api

- Replace pbm with oslo.vmware.pbm
- Replace io_util with oslo.vmware.image_transfer
- Replace vmware_images with oslo.vmware.image_transfer
- Replace read_write_util with oslo.vmware.rw_handles
