Problems cloning with the VMWare SDK Perl scripts

$

I am new to the SDK. I loaded the 5.0 version of the SDK Perl scripts. I am trying to clone a VM but I want it to clone to another datacenter and esxihost. I can get it to clone locally if I do not include the --datastore parameter. It only makes a local copy. If I include --datastore I get the message Datastore xxxxx not available.

 

 

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>perl perl\apps\vm\vmclone.pl --username uuuuuu --password ppppppp --vmhost 10.253.179.20 --vmname x-sm-template.v2.1.4 --vmname_destination vcpsrm-cmcl-3301.vtest  --url https://vcpvcenter.ula.comcast.net/sdk/webService  --datastore vcpresx-cmcl-33
Datastore vcpresx-cmcl-33 not available.

 

FYI: The VM is not a template even though we are calling it one.

 

I ran the script dsbrowse.pl and it works showing me the datastore.

 

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>perl perl\apps\host\dsbrowse.pl --username uuuuuu --password pppppp

--url https://vcpvcenter.ula.comcast.net/sdk/vimService --name vcpresx-cmcl-33

 

 

Information about datastore : 'vcpresx-cmcl-33'

---------------------------

Summary

Name             : vcpresx-cmcl-33

Location         : ds:///vmfs/volumes/4f16f35c-67505413-41d2-441ea14bc92d/

File system      : VMFS

Maximum Capacity : 1112.75 GB

Available space  : 1090.9306640625 GB

 

All the examples just show the simple name of the datastore which I named the datastores the same as the esxi hostname.

 

Any ideas?
