SDRS related issue

Let me make the following information more detailed:

http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/vra/vrealize-automation-701-release-notes.html

  • Moving a datastore from one vSphere Storage DRS to another causes the system to delete instead of create a virtual machine*

If you move a datastore from one vSphere Storage DRS cluster to another vSphere Storage DRS cluster and the target cluster's automation level is not automatic, reprovisioning a created machine causes the system to delete the machine with the following error: StoragePlacement: datastore unspecified for disk in sdrs-disabled VM. This issue does not occur if the virtual machine is cloned.

Workaround: Verify that the target cluster's automation level is set to automatic before you move a datastore from one vSphere Storage DRS cluster to another.

The above known issues is related to vRA? This seems to be related to only vSphere environment without vRA.

This is for vRA, but under a very specific set of circumstances: selecting the day 2 "reprovision" action after migrating the datastore to a new datastore cluster that doesn't have SDRS configured to automatic.

Hi Fwa,

My initial thought is:it is just vRA only issue and may not be reproducible from vSphere directly. However, I will check and come back to you, please stay tuned for confirmation from my side.
