Bug Description
"CreateVM_Task", vm_folder_ref,
config=config_spec, pool=res_pool_ref)
specifies a vm_folder_ref that has no relationship to the datastore.
This may lead to VM construction and placement errors.
NOTE: code selects the 0th datacenter

Actually the vm_folder_ref is a reference to a Folder managed entity. It bears no relationship to VM's location on storage, and nor any relationship to datastores. It is mostly used to group VMs for assigning permissions. So I don't believe the choice of a vm folder over another can be the difference in VM spawning behavior. Shawn, as there a particular scenario where you saw a potential problem?
