vROPS中虚拟机对象的ID为resourceID，跟vCenter中虚拟机的UUID是不一致的，因此想要将vROPS中的虚拟机和vCenter中的虚拟机对应肯定不能靠虚拟机名称，而是一定要靠UUID。

下面的示例显示如何通过vROPS API获取虚拟机在vCenter中的UUID

步骤1，获取vROPS Token

URL: https://vrops.vmware.com/suite-api/api/auth/token/acquire
Method: POST
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Body: {"username":"admin","password":"VMware1!"}
Response:

{
    "token": "4971b55f-68aa-47a0-a351-19fa751d59cb::5c1db8e3-90ec-44f4-87f7-ad986f358ca6",
    "validity": 1556219805813,
    "expiresAt": "Friday, April 26, 2019 3:16:45 AM CST",
    "roles": []
}

步骤2，获取虚拟机UUID

URL: https://vrops.dev-pso.com/suite-api/api/resources?name=000-001-OS-P003
Method: GET
Authorization: vRealizeOpsToken {{token}}
Accept: application/json
Response:
