Hi,

Can we deploy a VM under a specific DRS cluster instead of providing datastore name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Ayan

Presently this is not possible. You could do something like provide the module a list of datastores and use jinja random to pick one

datastore: {{datastores|random}}

It's not perfect, but you can do this out of the box
