feat!: report hosts and licenses as facts, not warnings (0.2.0)
get_device_warnings is gone; netOrk names the warnings from facts
(netOrk #1111). get_hypervisor_hosts() reports each host's connection
state, maintenance mode, configuration issues and managing vCenter;
get_licenses() the assigned licenses with the edition key as edition,
never the key itself.

The reach stays: the ESXi driver reports connected as None (a
disconnected host could not have answered), and managed_by only for a
host it reached directly. parse/warnings.py is replaced by
parse/hosts.py and parse/licenses.py.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Added

  • VM provisioning (create_vm_from_cloud_init, destroy_vm, get_vm_status, get_network_targets, get_image_storages) from qcow2/raw cloud images: converted with qemu-img, imported over OVF/NFC, configured by cloud-init from a NoCloud seed ISO. Tested against vcsim.
  • reboot_host on ESXi, refused outside maintenance mode.
  • Declares open-vm-tools as the guest agent for provisioned VMs.

Changed

  • Breaking: get_device_warnings is gone; the driver reports facts and the caller names the warnings (netOrk #1111). get_hypervisor_hosts() gives each host's connection state (None on ESXi, which cannot tell), maintenance mode, configuration issues and managing vCenter (ESXi only); get_licenses() gives the assigned licenses with their edition key as edition. Requires napalm-device-types 4.14.0; version 0.2.0.
  • The guest agent is declared per guest OS (GUEST_AGENTS, napalm-device-types 3.0); VMware provisions Linux guests only and refuses any other guest_os.
  • The NoCloud network-config comes from napalm-device-types (provisioning.network_config), which Proxmox uses as well.

[0.1.0] - 2026-09-24

Added

  • vmware_esxi and vmware_vcenter drivers (hypervisor role) over the vSphere API: facts, interfaces, LLDP/CDP, environment, VMs, VM config, power actions, snapshots, datastores, port groups and raw device warnings.
  • tools/harvest.py and tools/sanitize.py to capture fixtures from real hosts.

Pending

  • Validation against real ESXi and vCenter installations; tested against vcsim only.
