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.
|
|
:extends: vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceOption.FileBackingOption_
|
|
|
|
Attributes:
|
|
diskMode (`vim.option.ChoiceOption`_):
|
|
|
|
The disk mode. Valid disk modes are:
|
|
* `persistent`_
|
|
*
|
|
* `independent_persistent`_
|
|
*
|
|
* `independent_nonpersistent`_
|
|
*
|
|
* See
|
|
* `VirtualDiskMode`_
|
|
*
|
|
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:
|
|
* `redoLogFormat`_
|
|
*
|
|
* `nativeFormat`_
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
deltaDiskFormatsSupported (`vim.vm.device.VirtualDiskOption.DeltaDiskFormatsSupported`_):
|
|
|
|
Delta disk formats supported for each datastore type.
