From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com&gt; In esxConnectListAllDomains if the lookup of the VM name and UUID fails for a single VM (possible e.g. with broken storage) the whole API would return failure even when there are working VMs. Rework the lookup so that if a subset fails we ignore the failure on those. We report an error only if lookup of all of the objects failed. Failure is reported from the last one.
