From my understanding, internally, Vim::get_view() also retrieves from the VM Inventory view list.

Eg: Same code in PyVmomi to get VM object using vm_moid

# vm_morref: "vm-xx" or "vim.VirtualMachine:vm-xx"

def getVMFromMOR(si, vm_moref): vm_obj = None view_ref = si.content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(container=si.content.rootFolder, type=[pyVmomi.vim.VirtualMachine], recursive=True) for managed_object_ref in view_ref.view: if vm_moref in str(managed_object_ref): vm_obj = managed_object_ref break return vm_obj
