As long as all Datastores inside and outside the cluster you are working with use the same Storage Profile. vCloud treats all Datastores with the same storage profile as a single bucket of storage....

I too am pretty curious about doing this, but I am wondering if SDRS has any impact on fast provisioning? I have seen an article recommending against it, but vCAT3.1 shows it as supported. These...

View ArticleRe: Storage Cluster Question
NFS has some different caveats than VMFS. It's a combination of questions .. like are you using Fast Provisioning? If you are, is it Native Linked Clones or vSphere VAAI Linked Clones? It'll work,...

As you are on the same vCenter the "Import" option sounds like the best way to go. Connector is really made for moving between different sites. Another option - but not as good when on the same...
