You're the second one that asks this question in the last few days.
Maybe I should take this as an indication that I need to improve the
ESX driver documentation.
We don't have the ESX driver enabled in Debian at the
moment:
configure: Xen: yes
configure: Proxy: no
configure: QEMU: yes
configure: UML: yes
configure: OpenVZ: yes
configure: VBox: yes
configure: LXC: yes
configure: PHYP: no
configure: ONE: no
configure: ESX: no
configure: Test: yes
configure: Remote: yes
configure: Network: yes
configure: Libvirtd: yes
configure: netcf: no
configure: macvtap: no
Since Ubuntu basically uses the Debian packges they don't have this
enabled either. The current diff against Debian is at:
http://patches.ubuntu.com/libv/libvirt/libvirt_0.7.5-5ubuntu12.patch
which hasn't any ./configure changes except for apparmor support so I
doubt this can work at all on Ubuntu.
Dimitris, you should file an Ubuntu Bug. Matthias, I'd be more than
happy to enable ESX support in Debian but I don't have any means of
testing it.
