Task 'clone' error - fails in vROrch for one cluster

Just getting started in vRO

I have a "Clone from Template" workflow to pick template, datastore, cluster, etc....

I can clone a template manually.

But if I run the workflow for a particular cluster, it fails with:

Task 'clone' error: Unable to access the virtual machine configuration: unable to access file [datastore] (Dynamic Script Module name:vim3WaitTaskEnd#20)

I have tried a few different datastores with same result.

vSphere client and workflow logs show same error.

Worked like a charm in the lab, and for another cluster.

The vSphere client shows it attempting as my account - which is correct/expected - and as mentioned, I can do it manually.

The error occurs almost immediately.

Any hints?

Thanks

OK, I got one hint .. Something with the Resource Pools?

In the Lab, I have only one cluster

When I move it to Prod, we have multiple clusters, and I had to repoint the "VC:ResourcePool" attribute

I pointed it to the first cluster - the one that works.

How do I make that attribute value valid for all clusters?

Or a different approach?

the "pool" attribute is in the getRelocateSpec action (com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec)
