Because we've had a some folks stumble across this bug and ask about it recently I thought I'd document this here for posterity:

For those using the VMware Integrated OpenStack distribution, we've added a minor tweak to the Nova driver to set the asset tag by default to a value specified in nova.conf. This means that users won't have to set the asset tag using extra specs/image attributes (though if they wish to do so, using vmware:extra_config='{"smbios.assetTag":"OpenStack Compute"}' will override the value set by default in the driver).

If you're using any of the following versions of VMware Integrated OpenStack you should have the patch:

* 4.1.2.2 or newer
* 5.1.0.2 or newer
* 6.0 or newer

If you'd like to modify the value set by the driver, look for "nova_set_asset_tag" in your custom.yml file, set the value you want, and run "viocli deployment update" to apply.
