The initial check in Builder.Prepare does not use the OutputDir interface.
stepPrepareOutputDir also checks if OutputDir exists, error out there unless
using -force so we get the same behavior when RemoteType is esx5.
This driver talks directly to ESX over ssh, using vim-cmd, esxcli and sh;
no vCenter or VIM api required.
Remote* config properties added to support a remote driver
RemoteDriver interface extends Driver:
* SSHAddress - esx flavor uses esxcli to find the VM's ip address
* Download - esx flavor downloads iso files to a vmfs datastore
Driver can optionally implement the following interfaces:
* VNCAddressFinder - esx flavor needs to check remote ports
* OutputDir - esx driver needs a local and remote OutputDir
* Inventory - esx driver needs to register/unregister VMs
* HostIPFinder - esx flavor needs an address on the same network as esx itself
We have two choices for VMware on Linux. We already support
Workstation, add support for Player too.
VMware Player doesn't come with vmware-vdiskmanager, so fall back to
using qemu-img if we can find that.
