Title:
  vmware code is using deprecated API that may not handle inventories
  over 100 items properly

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Several VMwareAPI methods used to return an array of all results which
  could cause problems on extremely large inventories. New replacement
  API use scrollable results that return chunks of managed object
  results to be scrolled through. These new methods end in "Ex" and
  should be used in place of the previous methods when available.

  The following code is using deprecated API that should be rewritten to
  use newer API
