Add /system/vm in the tree

Add /system/vm in the tree

[samary]

What do you think about that change (backward incompatible with related components) @guillaume-philippon @alvarosimon

[guillaume-philippon]

We don't use /system/openstack at LAL and I think just ncm-opennebula component should use it if it is.

[alvarosimon]

@samary @guillaume-philippon At this moment for ncm-opennebula component we are using /software/components/opennebula/.. tree this is included in the code:
my $base = "/software/components/opennebula";

But I think, if I'm not mistaken that @samary is referring to the aii to manage the VMs running in a cloud framework, isn't it? and yes we don't use /system/vm/.. we are using directly /system/hardware to convert a real machine into a VM appliance, this use case is quite useful for us. I think that @samary is asking for another use case (correct me if I'm wrong), that means do not convert a real machine into a VM, instead of that provide directly the VM requirements within quattor tree and start and manage the VM in your cloud framework. I think that this is also a valid user case and we can support both and yes /system/vm looks a good place, but please correct me if I misunderstood your request.

As there are no plan to use other virtualization system that can fill this /system branch, we can keep it as it is.
I'm closing this issue (feel free to reopen it if you think there should be a more abstract system).
