Title:
  VNC console does not work with VCDriver

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) grizzly series:
  Fix Released
Status in The OpenStack VMwareAPI subTeam:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  From testing, it seems like VNC consoles do not work with the
  VCDriver.

  There are actually two issues, one a doc issue, one a code issue.

  1) Doc issue:

  For vSphere version 5+, you need to poke a hole in the ESX firewall to
  allow VNC traffic.  See: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/01/using-
  vnc-client-to-connect-to-vms-in.html

  2) Code issue:

  It seems like VNC consoles works with the ESXDriver, was not updated
  for the VCDriver, as get_vnc_console returns CONF.vmwareapi_host_ip,
  which is the ESX host IP with the ESXDriver, but is the vCenter host
  IP with the VCDriver
  (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/vmwareapi/vmops.py#L1105).
