vim.vm.device.VirtualDiskOption.SparseVer2BackingOption
=======================================================
  This data object type contains the options available when backing a virtual disk using a host file with the sparse file format from VMware Server.
:extends: vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceOption.FileBackingOption_

Attributes:
    diskMode (`vim.option.ChoiceOption`_):

       The disk mode. Valid disk modes are:
        * `persistent`_
        * 
        * `nonpersistent`_
        * 
        * `undoable`_
        * 
        * `independent_persistent`_
        * 
        * `independent_nonpersistent`_
        * 
        * `append`_
        * 
        * See
        * `VirtualDiskMode`_
        * 
    split (`vim.option.BoolOption`_):

       Flag to indicate whether or not the host supports allowing the client to select whether or not a sparse disk should be split.
    writeThrough (`vim.option.BoolOption`_):

       Flag to indicate whether or not the host supports allowing the client to select "writethrough" as a mode for virtual disks. Typically, this is available only for VMware Server Linux hosts.
    growable (`bool`_):

       Indicates whether or not this disk backing can be extended to larger sizes through a reconfigure operation.If set to true, reconfiguring this virtual disk with a `capacityInKB`_ value greater than its current value will grow the disk to the newly specified size.
    hotGrowable (`bool`_):

       Indicates whether or not this disk backing can be extended to larger sizes through a reconfigure operation while the virtual machine is powered on.If set to true, reconfiguring this virtual disk with a `capacityInKB`_ value greater than its current value will grow the disk to the newly specified size while the virtual machine is powered on.
    uuid (`bool`_):

       Flag to indicate whether this backing supports disk UUID property.
