Title:
  Cinder VMDK driver : uuid of VMDK disk file needs to be the same as of
  corresponding Cinder volume ID

Status in Cinder:
  New

Bug description:
  When we create Cinder volume of VMDK type, the uuid of virtual disk is auto-generated.  Because of this it's difficult for an end user to identify the Openstack Cinder created/attached volumes from within the guest OS.
  Change proposed - use the uuid of Cinder volume as the uuid for Virtual disk as well when the shadow VM template is updated in Cinder VMDK driver.
