[one-users] base path of vmfs system datastore

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi,

You are right, there is a chicken-and-egg problem with VMware and DS 0
and 1 in OpenNebula 4.2 that prevents the use of the default
datastores in VMware. This is fixed in the imminent OpenNebula 4.4
Retina.

The workaround is to simply use two new datastores (say, 100 and 101),
configure them with the appropriate BRIDGE_LIST and 'vmfs' drivers and
DATASTORE_LOCATION, rename the DS in the ESX hosts and you should be
good to go.

Regards,

-Tino
