Deploying OVFs and keeping source partitions on 2 datastores

I'd like to make an OVF and deploy it from one ESXi to another, however the OVF source machine has two partitions, one stored on a SSD array and one stored on a 10K array. I'd like to keep this configuration while deploying the OVF to another ESXi host - is it possible?

For now, when I deploy the OVF it will save both partitions on a specified datastorage, which affects that the VM configuration will differ between the two ESXis.

Thank you.

No, this cannot be achieved with an OVF configuration. The OVF has no knowledge (or concern) of underyling placement.
