They might use it. It depends on the policy set on the DS (packing,
striping or custom) [1]. You have to set the requirement on each and
every vm (template) to make sure they end up in the correct datastore.
See sched.log to see what priorities your datastores end up with. Our
datastores end up with the same priority and the first one in the list
gets chosen.
