Virtual Disk Manager

The following methods in managed object VirtualDiskManager are affected by encryption:

copyVirtualDisk – If the source disk is encrypted, its copied disk is encrypted with the same key, regardless of the crypto spec. When calling copyVirtualDisk_Task on vCenter Server, do not specify the destSpec parameter, which throws a Not Implemented fault; destSpec is supported only on ESXi hosts.

createVirtualDisk – Given a valid crypto spec, this task directly creates an encrypted virtual disk.

moveVirtualDisk – An encrypted virtual disk cannot be moved to an unencrypted virtual machine.

createChildDisk – The child disk of an encrypted disk remains encrypted with the same key.

reparentDisks – Encrypted child disk cannot be reparented to a new disk that is not in the same disk chain.
