> The VMware code will rename an image in the database when a vmdk is copied if the name is too long.  This causes problems in environments that use multiple image repositories or datastores.
> An image captured using VIM_SSH.pm under standalone ESXi will use the full image name.  If the image is then copied by vSphere_SDK.pm, the name may be shortened in the database.  The image will then fail to load on existing hosts which already have the image in their repository and/or datastore saved using the long name.
> When a reservation starts, the shortened name is retrieved from the database.  VIM_SSH.pm will then attempt to locate the image with the shortened name in the repository and/or datastore path but no image exists with that name.
