Title:
  vmwareapi.VMwareVCDriver: problem with creating instance

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Error in compute.log

  Function CopyVirtualDisk_Task is not supported in vCenter SDK, so we can't use wmvare_disktype=sparse and can't create snapshot for VM when we using vmwareapi.VMwareVCDriver.
  Another problem is when we are trying to create an instance the disk size is always the same like VMDK image even after the disk size should be greater then vmdk size.

  when we use vmwareapi.VMwareESXDriver the problems go away, but we
  can't functions like vMotion, DRS.
