Neutron agent for importing existing port groups for vcenter
Within existing vmware driver, with non-NSX plugin, it only have very limited function for Vlan network, it only support one port group and require user manually configured in vcenter. And have it configured within the nova.conf (Integration_
It is good to allow openstack vmware users to deploy VM to certain standard virtual port group or distributed virtual port group under Cluster level.
For this bp, it will cover:
1) Sync/Import existing port groups from vcenter(cluster level) and convert it to openstack network object.
2) Allow nova to deploy VM to these network which map to the network.

zhuzhu: to gark: Thanks for review. Can I assume you are referring to use a new mechnism driver(initialize) in Neutron Server Service to meet this function?
The intention here that we are considering to use a separate agent is that in the future that we can loop check and monitoring the vcenter parts network changes(
