This external documentation for pyVmomi was generated using Googly Docs (aka Google Standard Documentation) which renders very cleanly in GitHub. Internal documentation for a class should be done in Sphinx format because tools like pyCharm and Eclipse can use that documentation as a hint for code completion. Note: External docs as Googly Docs, internal docs as Sphinx. Closes bug#15

vim.vm.device.VirtualDiskOption.FlatVer2BackingOption
This data object type contains the available options when backing a virtual disk using a host file with the flat file format used in VMware Server and in ESX Server 2.x and greater. Flat disks are pre-allocated, whereas sparse disks are grown as needed.
- Attributes:
-
diskMode (vim.option.ChoiceOption):
- The disk mode. Valid disk modes are:
split (vim.option.BoolOption):
Flag to indicate whether or not the host supports allowing the client to select whether or not a 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.
thinProvisioned (vim.option.BoolOption):
Flag to indicate if this backing supports thin-provisioned disks.When creating a thin-provisioned disk (or converting an existing disk to to a thin-provisioned one), both the target datastore and the host accessing it must support thin-provisioning. This flag indicates only the host capability. See perFileThinProvisioningSupported for datastore capability.
eagerlyScrub (vim.option.BoolOption):
Flag to indicate if this backing supports eager scrubbing.
deltaDiskFormat (vim.option.ChoiceOption):
- Delta disk formats supported. Valid values are:
deltaDiskFormatsSupported (vim.vm.device.VirtualDiskOption.DeltaDiskFormatsSupported):
Delta disk formats supported for each datastore type.
