So, a couple of points:
* when OpenStack manages a VM it does so, cradle to grave
* it sounds like you want to manage existing vSphere inventory and
that's not a supported use case remember: cradle-to-grave in one stack or the
other.
* at the moment sharing part of your vSphere resources (say a resource
pool) with OpenStack is possible but not documented someone needs to write that
doc (and perhaps submit code)
*
use thick ("-flat.vmdk") provisioned VMDK with glance at the moment (we notice
problems using 'thin' in some setups) * official docs
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/vmware.html
* These docs need updating, I'd do it but I don't know how
* BTW: we fixed the bit where you do stuff with tomcat and the SDK
Hope that helps. Please correct me if I've gotten something wrong.
