One point to add, not sure if it will help but If I unregister the Vm and
delete from disk using the vsphere client and then set the image to
"noimage" in the VCL DB , I can load the image fine using reload from the
VCL frontend.  The issue happens when I create a reservation which works
but when I delete the reservation it doesn't reload.
