We tested self-hosted-image on vmware player and it works fine.

We installed a vmware image from the .iso file built by bitbake. 
Next, we'll try the image translation tools(qemu's tool or/and vmware's tool)

We can generate .hdddirect and .vmdk images.
The RFC patch is in oe-core mailing list for review.

QA will design test case to generate vmware with yocto build.
