@nvazquez after reading your explanation at the PR's body I understood the
change.
That change can be used to any kind of hypervisor, right?
What about a different parameter name? Giving that it is not exclusive to
VMware environments

> h1. Introduction
> In some environments there is a need to exclude certain VMware clusters from
> performing OVF operations. This operations are part of:
> * create template
> * create volume snaphsot
> * copy template, volume, images from primary storage to secondary storage
> * migrate volume
> * participate when a template gets cached over to primary storage.
> In ESX/ESXi, OVF operations are low priority and bound to a single CPU and
> most likely get throttled to certain IOPS and network limits.
> If the hypervisor chosen for OVF operations is weak or overloaded this
> results in significantly longer execution of such OVF command and therefore
> degraded performance of underlying CloudStack API call.
> h2. Proposed solution
> It is proposed to add a way to exclude hosts from selected clusters for OVF
> operations.
> To exclude a cluster, would be necessary to insert a record in
> {{cluster_details}} specifying property *{{'vmware.exclude_from_ovf'}}* in
> this way: (supposing we want to exclude cluster X)
> ||cluster_id||||name||value||
> |X|vmware.exclude_from_ovf|true|
