Title:
  VMware: instance names can be edited, breaks nova-driver lookup

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  In Progress
Status in The OpenStack VMwareAPI subTeam:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Currently the VMware Nova Driver relies on the VM name in vCenter/ESX
  to match the UUID in Nova. The name can be easily edited by vCenter
  administrators and break Nova administration of VMs. A better solution
  should be found allowing the Nova Compute Driver for vSphere to look
  up VMs by a less volatile and publicly visible mechanism.
