    @rafaelweingartner How about 'cluster.exclude' or 'cluster.storage.operations.exclude'. I think the latter is the better choice.

> 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)

> |X|vmware.exclude_from_ovf|true|
