Summary	376: support for VM Hypervisor
Description	main part lacking on this fantastic project is the support for Virtual hypervisors like vsphere. virtual machines need to be repertoried into a "new" type of enclosure constitued of some esx servers. it's possible to work around as creating a rack linked to the esx servers, but i'm sure that it could be a more elegant solution. if i can help in designing or something like that (i do not know nothing in web devellopement) i'll be glad to help you. thank you!

I am currently managing Virtual Machines with Racktables v 0.18.5 by creating the Host as a Rack, and adding the Virtual machines as objects. I would like to see the Asset Tag requirement modified or removed for Virtual Machines specifically. I cannot think of another unique identifier to use. Just an suggestion.

Currently I have two tags, "VM Powered On" and "VM Powered Off", that I use to attach to Virtual Machines as I create them in the Objects section. I can then easily sort for the ones powered or not powered. A suggestion is to add this as a field for the Virtual Machine object, then when you actually view the VM Host, you would see next to the Virtual machine the Powered state (on or off), or a green icon/ball for on, or gray icon/ball for off.
