Shawn Hartsock 15f7be9a52 pyVmomi reStructured Text Documentation
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.

vim.vm.device.VirtualDiskOption.SeSparseBackingOption

Backing options for virtual disks that use the space efficient sparse format.Space for Flex-SE disks is allocated on demand and optimizations are applied to achieve additional space savings.

vSphere API 5.1

Attributes:

diskMode (vim.option.ChoiceOption):

The disk mode. Valid disk modes are:

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.

deltaDiskFormatsSupported (vim.vm.device.VirtualDiskOption.DeltaDiskFormatsSupported):

Delta disk formats supported for each datastore type.
