Domain listing, basic information retrieval and domain life cycle
management is implemented. But currently the domian XML output
lacks the complete devices section.
The driver uses OpenWSMAN to directly communicate with an Hyper-V
server over its WS-Management interface exposed via Microsoft WinRM.
Just like the ESX driver this driver includes a generator that
generates the type definitions for the Hyper-V API that are feed
to OpenWSMAN.
Currently there are some sections in the code that are disabled
because of bugs in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6. Patches for those problems
have been posted upstream.
The driver is based on the work of Michael Sievers. This started in
the same master program project group at the University of Paderborn
as the ESX driver.
