I contacted VMware support in March 2014 and was told the bug was related to the vCenter 5.1 API (we were running vCenter 5.1 at the time) and that it should be fixed with a vCenter update, however I'm also still getting the same error with vCenter 5.5 U2 and PowerCLI 5.8 R1 2057893. bq. Note: Using a Datastore object instead of a DatastoreCluster object while keeping -DiskStorageFormat should also work fine, so I'm working around it by manually selecting the Datastore with the highest free space from my Datastorecluster like this: bq.
