Public bug reported:

VMware driver always uses a method "_get_vm_ref_from_name(session,
instance['name']" in nova.virt.vmwareapi.vm_util to retrieve the vm_ref
from vCenter (SDK). Actually the instance['name'] is the name assigned
by openstack instead of the name assigned by VMware. The instance name
is such as "instance-00000002". It will return 'Instance
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx could not be found' when _get_vm_ref_from_name use
instance['name'] as its parameter.

It should use instance['display_name'] which is the name VMware used.
