Public bug reported:

The VMware storage backend should be able to place the images based on storage policies.
Currently, it is only possible to select one datastore to place the images.
The user can provide a storage policy defined in vCenter server instead of specifying directly a datastore.

Among the subset of datastores matching the policy, the datastore with
most free space and accessible will be selected.

If the policy provided is not found in VC or no matching datastore if
found, the datastore specified in the configuration will be used.

SPBM should be used with vCenter server 5.5+.
