Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
blockSize* | xsd:int |
The block size of VMFS in kilotypes (KB). Determines the maximum file
size. If this optional property is not set, the maximum
file size defaults to the maximum file size for the platform.
In VMFS3, the valid block sizes are 1MB, 2MB, 4MB, and 8MB. In VMFS5, the only valid block size is 1MB. In VMFS6, the valid block sizes are 64KB and 1MB. Since vSphere API 6.5 |
blockSizeMb* | xsd:int | Deprecated.
As of vSphere API 6.5, use
blockSize instead.
The block size of VMFS in megabytes (MB). Determines the maximum file
size. If this optional property is not set, the maximum
file size defaults to the maximum file size for the platform.
In VMFS2, the valid block sizes 1MB, 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB,
128MB, and 256MB.
In VMFS3, the valid block sizes are 1MB, 2MB, 4MB, and 8MB.
In VMFS5, the only valid block size is 1MB.
|
extent | HostScsiDiskPartition |
Head extent of VMFS. The head extent identifies the VMFS. However,
the head extent should not be used to identify the VMFS across host
reboots. The actual identifier is specified in "vmhbaI:T:L" format
which is not guaranteed to be stable across reboots. Define a volume
name that is unique to the host and use it to refer to the VMFS.
Alternatively, the immutable UUID of the VMFS can be used after it
is created.
|
majorVersion | xsd:int |
Major version number of VMFS. This can be changed if the VMFS is
upgraded, but this is an irreversible change.
|
unmapGranularity* | xsd:int |
The granularity of VMFS unmap operations. VMFS unmap reclaims
unused storage space.
The unit is KB. The minimum unmap granularity is 8KB. The maximum
unmap granularity is determined by the block size of VMFS
blockSize.
Since vSphere API 6.5 |
unmapPriority* | xsd:string |
VMFS unmap priority. VMFS unmap reclaims unused storage space. This
determines the processing rate of unmaps.
See HostVmfsVolumeUnmapPriority for supported values.
Since vSphere API 6.5 |
volumeName | xsd:string |
Volume name of VMFS.
