We are using a Cisco Nexus 1000v DVS, which is not a normal VMWare
Distributed Virtual Switch

And we got following error when deploying a VM:

'VMwareDriverException:
Required property switchUuid is missing from data object of type DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection

Reason:
The reason is that Cisco Nexus 1000v DVS' type is(Managed Object:DistributedVirtualSwitch ) , which is not a normal VMWare Distributed Virtual Switch(Managed Object:VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch ). 
But the vmware driver is try to fetch the uuid based on type (Managed Object:VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch ).
dvs_props = session._call_method(vim_util,
                                "get_dynamic_property",
                                props.distributedVirtualSwitch,
                                "VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch", "uuid")

This code only works on normal vmware dvs, but not works on other types.
