Description

Cloned from BZ:

Description of problem:
I am trying to build a VM on a VMware Storage Pod that does not have DRS enabled and it keeps failing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Foreman 1.18

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Foreman and add VMware compute resource
2. Build VM selecting Storage POD
3. Watch the error

Actual results:

2018-06-12T12:53:16 [I|app|fb52d] Adding Compute instance for jim-paleo.toledo.satellite.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com
2018-06-12T12:53:17 [I|app|fb52d] Loaded compute resource data for networks in 0.818438204 seconds
2018-06-12T12:53:18 [W|app|fb52d] Failed to create a compute VMware (VMware) instance jim-paleo.toledo.satellite.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com: InvalidArgument: A specified parameter was not correct: podSelectionspec.storagePod

Expected results:
For it to build correctly.

I tested this with DRS off on the storage pod:

And had the VM HDD selection set as the Storage Pod:

I did get the same error you are getting:

Along with the stack trace from the production log.

I then tested it with DRS enabled:

And it worked correctly:

I'm seeing the same behavior, Foreman 1.20.1 and vCenter 6.7.

Datastore Clusters with Storage DRS disabled show up as options in the Storage Pod dropdown box on the Virtual Machine tab when creating a host on a VMWare compute resource. But when submitting the create host form with such a pod selected, I get:

Unable to save

If this is expected behavior, maybe datastore clusters with Storage DRS disabled should not be considered eligible storage pods.
