Hello,
I did some tests with your snippet.
This is not working and it's normal.
Either you create the VM based on a template, and the result will be by
default in the same datastore as the the template, or you create a VM from
scratch and you specifu the disk parameters (size,
type, autoselect_datastore: true if you don't want to specify the
datastore) and all other required parameters.
This is very strange because you are getting the "*Failed to find a matching
datastore"
*message first when you are missing 50 to 60% of the parameters needed to
create a VM from scratch.
Either fill the template parameter or all the necessary parameters.
Regards,
