[one-users] ESXi license for OpenNebula?

[Shantanu Pavgi]

Thanks for the reply Tino. I think you are referring to license management feature using vSphere client (here OpenNebula interface). I can think about contributing new add-on features once I get basic ESXi stuff working.. :)

I am wondering which VMware license will be required to use with existing OpenNebula's vmware add-on. I think VMware supports read-only API without any licensed editions, however to manage VMs using remote client (e.g. OpenNebula) one will need a licensed kit/edition. Does anyone the community have any experience with OpenNebula-ESXi integration? Any explanation on ESXi side requirements will be really helpful.
