Public bug reported:

The vmware-nsx repo has a number of different plugins. The DVS plugin enables one to be able to use Neutron with a number of limitation (no security groups and no layer 3 support). If one wants to achieve this with the DVS plugin then there are many different examples that they can use - for example https://github.com/openstack/networking-vsphere/blob/master/networking_vsphere/drivers/dvs_driver.py (that requires the ML2 plugin).
In the vmware-nsx dvs case there are no agents running. A instance is unable to get a DHCP address as we are unable to plugin the DHCP agent to the OVS. This cannot be done as the DeviceManager is hard coded and we need to make use of the network information to get the VLAN tag.
Enabling the plu and unplug opertaions for the DHCP agent to be overriden will enable the plugin to expose this and for people a chance to get neutron up and running in an existing vsphere env.
