Can't create image with "default_store = vsphere"

Can't create image with "default_store = vsphere"

I have tried to create image using the vsphere as the default store in below 2 ways: both don't work.

1) touch /tmp/m.vmdk
glance image-create --name test_template  --is-public=True --container-format=bare --disk-format=vmdk --property vmware_disktype=thin --property template_name=<your template name in vCenter> < /tmp/m.vmdk

This is failing with

Request returned failure status.

Currently, If datastore is under folder/datastore-cluster, glance cannot recognize the datastore.
