Bug Description

In nova.conf, the host_ip of the vmware section describes it as being a URL. But the expected input is a hostname or IP address, not a URL. A URL is composed of a scheme, two colons, etc. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_locator

# Username for connection to VMware ESX/VC host. (string

#host_username=<None>

# Password for connection to VMware ESX/VC host. (string

    Fixing host_ip configuration help message

    The vCenter/ESXi client can only accept a hostname or IP address
    and not a URL. Fix the help message to accurately describe what
    kind of address is accepted.
