    VMware: improve instance names on VC
    
    Up until now the instance name of the VM on the VC was the UUID of
    the instance. This is very confusing for administrators and they
    would like some context for the VM.
    
    This will now be:
     <display-name> (<instance-uuid>)
    
    Once the the instance is created we will perform a rename. The reason
    for this is that the disks are all stored under a folder on the datastore
    that has the name of the instance UUID.
    
    NOTE: this is only for the display on the VC. The search for the VM's
          is done via the instanceUUID configured on the VM. If that fails
          then the nvp.uuid extra spec is used for the search.
    
    This completed the blueprint vmware-better-display-names

Title:
  Instance name set in horizon is not set in VMware vCenter

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Instance name set in horizon is not set in VMware vCenter. In vCenter
  the name of the instance is the id (in UUID format) of the instance.
  This makes it difficult for the administrator to locate the instance
  in vCenter using the name displayed in horizon.
