How to clone a VM to a specific Datastore?

1.5k views Asked by At

I would like to use pyvmomi to clone VMs and attach it to specific datastore (specifically with most free space).

I couldn't find a solution for this in pysphere therefore I trying luck with pyvmomi but the it seems that learning curve for this library is a bit steeper.

Any help?

pyvmomi gives you access to everything in the VMware vSphere API Reference Documentation. This includes all the methods for cloning VMs from templates and specifying the datastore. Specifically take a look at VirtualMachineRelocateSpec which is a parameter to RelocateVM_Task (the method you will need to clone the VM).
