Research direction

Start by reproducing the error with the script that creates a VM repeatedly and observe the requests made to vCenter. Trace the request lifecycle to identify what remains open between runs. Done means repeated VM creation no longer produces “Too many open files in system” and the behavior is covered by a regression check.
