[one-users] Does OpenNebula work or replace VMware vCenter?

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Derrick,

The next step would be to add the vCenter as a normal host in OpenNebula
("onehost create <vcenter-hostname> im_vmware vmm_vmware tm__vmware), and
start deploying VMs.

Please let us know any problems you may have so we can debug the process and
create a proper documentation.

Regards,

-Tino
