Hmm, looks like vsphere_guest.py is only checking folder info from
vm_extra_config when cloning a template:
try:
if not vmTarget:
cloneArgs = dict(resourcepool=rpmor, power_on=power_on_after_clone)
if snapshot_to_clone is not None:
#check if snapshot_to_clone is specified, Create a Linked Clone instead of
a full clone.
cloneArgs["linked"] = True
cloneArgs["snapshot"] = snapshot_to_clone
if vm_extra_config.get("folder") is not None:
# if a folder is specified, clone the VM into it
cloneArgs["folder"] = vm_extra_config.get("folder")
vmTemplate.clone(guest, **cloneArgs)
Need to look into pyvmomi to check if we can add some fields to specify my
system.id in .vmx.
