Research direction

Start with vm_service/tasks.py at schedule_update_vms_state and vm_service/vSphere_client.py at get_vm_resource and _connect_vcenter, then trace the pyVim SmartConnect call shown in the traceback. Reproduce the vCenter connection failure and determine why the empty DataObject exception occurs; done means the cause and a verified resolution are documented.
