More Progress...

The following modules for the management are pretty well done: open-iscsi, OCFS2, rAA interface, and Shell Access (via SSHTerm). I'm working on the VMware module, and I'm trying a new approach - a class-based approach. It's proving to be a bit more difficult and require more thought than the open-iscsi module - for a few reasons. First, there are multiple commands that need to be run to manage VMware effectively, and that doesn't even cover all the basis (networking configuration is still lacking), and second the VM management is a lot more complicated than the open-iscsi management - there are host-level settings, VMware Server-level settings, and VM-level settings. Hopefully I'll be able to work some on it tomorrow - maybe get the basic class interface hacked out.
