» vsphere_datastore
The vsphere_datastore
data source can be used to discover the ID of a
datastore in vSphere. This is useful to fetch the ID of a datastore that you
want to use to create virtual machines in using the
vsphere_virtual_machine
resource.
» Example Usage
data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" {
name = "dc1"
}
data "vsphere_datastore" "datastore" {
name = "datastore1"
datacenter_id = "${data.vsphere_datacenter.datacenter.id}"
}
» Argument Reference
The following arguments are supported:
-
name
- (Required) The name of the datastore. This can be a name or path. -
datacenter_id
- (Optional) The managed object reference ID of the datacenter the datastore is located in. This can be omitted if the search path used inname
is an absolute path. For default datacenters, use the id attribute from an emptyvsphere_datacenter
data source.

represents the ID of the datastore that was looked up.
