hotGrowable | xsd:boolean |
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. Since VI API 2.5 |
