Title:
  VMware: boot from sparse image results in OS not found

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am attempting to boot an instance from the cirros  image found here:
  http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/vmdkimage/cirros-0.3.2-i386-disk.vmdk

  So I originally imported the image without setting any of the vmware
  properties.  So when I go to boot from this image, I get "Operating
  System not found" in the VM.

  This was my user error, so I then used the glance command line image-
  update to set those properties after the image was already created.
  Then I tried another boot from this image.  I got the same result,
  "Operating System not found".

  However, if I set the properties for the image at image-create time,
  everything works.  It also works if I do not boot the image before
  doing an image-update.  So definitely seems as though some of the
  metadata is cached.

  To Recreate:
  - use glance image-create to import image: http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/vmdkimage/cirros-0.3.2-i386-disk.vmdk (do not set any of the vmware_* properties.
  - boot from this image, notice it fails to find the OS as expected
  - use glance image-update to modify the image metadata so that it properly has the --property vmware_adaptertype="ide" --property vmware_disktype="sparse" set.
  - boot from this image again, notice it still fails, which is unexpected.
