We're writing management software that, among other things, tracks VMware objects. MORefs are used to uniquely identify VMware objects (like a VM). Given that the Managed Object Reference is a value locally unique to each vCenter Server instance, this causes an issue when a VM migrates via SRM from one vCenter Server to the next. The MORef changes, and therefore, the next time our management software inventories VMware objects, the migrated VM is considered a new object. The migrated VM is introduced into the management software's registry as a duplicate object. It'd be great if the MORef was truly a globally unique reference.
