[Matt Riedemann <mriedem.os@xxxxxxxxx>]

The vmware driver code is misleading. The legacy image property is
converted to img_linked_clone in the nova.objects.ImageMeta object:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/7e2d8cb89b68d136c7bc3dd2eae18b5269fcefbd/nova/objects/image_meta.py#L474

So if your image has vmware_linked_clone it should still work because
we'll translate it when building that ImageMeta object.

Title:
  VMware vSphere configuration options doc refers to image property that
  is not used

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the
  following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit.
  Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:

  - [X] This doc is inaccurate in this way: In the "Image handling"
  section, the first "Note" says you can use the legacy property
  'vmware_linked_clone' to control whether a VM is booted as a linked
  clone or not, but it looks like the code only checks the
  'img_linked_clone' property [0].

  Fix is probably to remove the reference to the legacy property.
