VMware: datastore type NFS 4.1 not supported

[Lauro de Souza Dias]

The only supported Datastore Types for VMware are NFS, VMFS, VSAN and VVOL. When using Storage Profiles (vmware:storage_profile) in NFS4.1 datastores, the volumes are created but not attached to an instance.

This list of datastore types is in cinder/volume/drivers/vmware/datastore.py at DatastoreType class:

class DatastoreType(object):
    """Supported datastore types."""

    NFS = "nfs"
    VMFS = "vmfs"
    VSAN = "vsan"
    VVOL = "vvol"

    _ALL_TYPES = {NFS, VMFS, VSAN, VVOL}

    @staticmethod
    def get_all_types():
        return DatastoreType._ALL_TYPES

To fix the issue, we just need to set a new type for NFS 4.1:

class DatastoreType(object):
    """Supported datastore types."""

    NFS = "nfs"
    NFS41 = "nfs41"
    VMFS = "vmfs"
    VSAN = "vsan"
    VVOL = "vvol"

    _ALL_TYPES = {NFS, NFS41, VMFS, VSAN, VVOL}

    @staticmethod
    def get_all_types():
        return DatastoreType._ALL_TYPES
