I think you're right, a vpx:// connection that covers a whole vCenter
is probably out of libvirt's scope and gives much trouble with stuff
like name uniqueness etc.
I'm going to restrict a vpx:// connection to a single host for now:
vpx://example-vcenter.com/datacenter1/cluster1/hostsystem1
This solves all name uniqueness issues and it allows to resolve
remaining no-host-for-vpx-connection-todos in the driver. This way we
don't have a feature in 0.8.3 that might need to be restricted in
later version.
Once we have a single-host-vpx-connection I'd like to investigate if
it's feasible to relax the restrictions on a vpx:// in a way that
allows to manage a single cluster too. Internally the driver would
always manage (Cluster-)ComputeResources then. The URI for such a
connection would omit the host part:
vpx://example-vcenter.com/datacenter1/cluster1
This all sounds like a good plan to me
