Public bug reported:

Description
===========
In a multi hypervisor environment containing esx computes and KVM computes, and cinder VMDK backend configured,
When attaching a volume to a KVM INSTANCE, A volume is created in the vCenter if a volume of type VMDK.

The volume VM is created in the cluster not part of the OpenStack plane. In other words, the volume can be created anywhere.
Though there is a failure, which is expected, the concern is with the creation of volume VM. 

Check in manger for the volume type and the driver type before
delegating it to cinder would be ideal.

Steps to reproduce
==================
1. Create a VM in KVM region.
2. Register cinder VMDK driver and create a volume.
3. Attach the cinder volume to a KVM instance.

Expected result
===============
After the execution of the steps above, Either volume in vCenter shouldn't be created or it should be deleted.

Actual result
=============
But the volume remains there in the vCenter.

Environment
===========
1. Devstack, stable/mitaka

2. Which hypervisor did you use?
   libivrt  + vmware

2. Which storage type did you use?
   VMDK

** Affects: nova
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
