vsphere_datastore_cluster

The vsphere_datastore_cluster data source can be used to discover the ID of a datastore cluster in vSphere. This is useful to fetch the ID of a datastore cluster that you want to use to assign datastores to using the vsphere_nas_datastore or vsphere_vmfs_datastore resources, or create virtual machines in using the vsphere_virtual_machine resource.

Example Usage

data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" {
  name = "dc1"
}

data "vsphere_datastore_cluster" "datastore_cluster" {
  name          = "datastore-cluster1"
  datacenter_id = "${data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id}"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• name - (Required) The name or absolute path to the datastore cluster.
• datacenter_id - (Optional) The managed object reference ID of the datacenter the datastore cluster is located in. This can be omitted if the search path used in name is an absolute path. For default datacenters, use the id attribute from an empty vsphere_datacenter data source.

Attribute Reference

Currently, the only exported attribute from this data source is id, which represents the ID of the datastore cluster that was looked up.
