Donal Lafferty f9f196a46a A plugin for Hyper-V control is available for CloudStack. The plugin implements basic VM control; however, its
architecture allows additional functionality to be easily added.  Incorporating the plugin in CloudStack will allow
the community to participate in improving the features available with Hyper-V. The plugin uses a Director Connect
Agent architecture described here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Progress
Add ability to pass kvp data via the key cloudstack-vm-userdata
Rearrange code to make it clearer what .NET objects are being used.
Test failures are easier to deal with if test key is not deleted.
Acquire management/pod ip for control ip when VR deploys in HyperV
Fixed deletion on VM's on hyperv host when mgmt server gets restarted due to HA
Implementation for attach iso command. Attaches an iso to a given vm.

Classes were generated on a hyper-v server using the Visual Studio GUI, but you can do the same using
mgmtclassgen.exe.  Below are some examples:

mgmtclassgen.exe Msvm_ComputerSystem /N root\virtualization /L CS /O CloudStack.Plugin.WmiWrappers /P ComputerSystem.cs
mgmtclassgen.exe Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService /N root\virtualization /L CS /O CloudStack.Plugin.WmiWrappers /P VirtualSystemManagementService.cs
mgmtclassgen.exe Msvm_VirtualSystemGlobalSettingData /N root\virtualization /L CS /O CloudStack.Plugin.WmiWrappers /P VirtualSystemGlobalSettingData.cs


BUT, you have to tweak the generated code, because it does not deal with NULL method parameters properly.
E.g. when a method completes immediately, the returned out parameters include a "Job" property that has a NULL value.
The generated code will attempt to call ToString() on this NULL value.

ALSO, you have to tweak the generated code to expose useful details such as the WMI name for the class.
E.g. the generated code creates a wrapper called class ComputerSystem for WMI objects of class Msvm_ComputerSystem.
Thus, there is a mismatch in the class name and the corresponding WMI class, and the WMI class name is a private
constant static member.  The tweak involves making this member public.
