Comment 11 for bug 1738993

Kevin, the error message is incorrect of course (the model can't exist already during bootstrap!), but it did point to the cause. There's a transaction failure in mongo caused by us not escaping the dots in the region name.

As a workaround, you can change the region name from esx.power.lab to, say, esx-power-lab. We'll look to fix things to allow dots in the mean time.
