Research direction
Study the referenced OpenStack nova file at nova/virt/vmwareapi/vm util.py to understand how extraConfig is accessed. Then create a Python script using pyVmomi that demonstrates reading and writing values into config.extraConfig on a VirtualMachine object. The sample should include steps to retrieve a VM and modify its extraConfig properties.
