diskBackingInfo*	VirtualDeviceBackingInfo	Backing information for the virtual disk at the destination. This can be used, for instance, to change the format of the virtual disk. If the specified backing is invalid or not supported at the destination, InvalidDeviceBacking is thrown. Specific property changes may be ignored if they are not supported. Supported BackingInfo types and properties: VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo thinProvisioned eagerlyScrub VirtualDiskSeSparseBackingInfo (ESX 5.1 or later) *Since* vSphere API 5.0
diskId	xsd:int	Device ID of the virtual disk.
diskMoveType*	xsd:string	Manner in which to move the virtual disk to the target datastore. The set of possible values is described in VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions. This property can only be set if deltaDiskBackingsSupported is true. If left unset then moveAllDiskBackingsAndDisallowSharing is assumed. *Since* vSphere API 4.0
profile*	VirtualMachineProfileSpec[]	Virtual Disk Profile requirement. Profiles are solution specific. Profile Based Storage Management is a vSphere server extension. The API users who want to provision VMs using Storage Profiles, need to interact with it. This is an optional parameter and if user doesn't specify profile, the default behavior will apply. *Since* vSphere API 5.5

Description

datastore

ManagedObjectReference
to a Datastore

Target datastore.

diskBackingInfo*

VirtualDeviceBackingInfo

Backing information for the virtual disk at the destination. This can be used, for instance, to change the format of the virtual disk. If the specified backing is invalid or not supported at the destination, InvalidDeviceBacking is thrown. Specific property changes may be ignored if they are not supported.

Supported BackingInfo types and properties:

VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo
- thinProvisioned
- eagerlyScrub
VirtualDiskSeSparseBackingInfo (ESX 5.1 or later)

Since vSphere API 5.0

diskId

xsd:int

Device ID of the virtual disk.

diskMoveType*

xsd:string

Manner in which to move the virtual disk to the target datastore. The set of possible values is described in VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions.

This property can only be set if deltaDiskBackingsSupported is true.

If left unset then moveAllDiskBackingsAndDisallowSharing is assumed.

Since vSphere API 4.0

profile*

VirtualMachineProfileSpec[]

Virtual Disk Profile requirement. Profiles are solution specific. Profile Based Storage Management is a vSphere server extension. The API users who want to provision VMs using Storage Profiles, need to interact with it. This is an optional parameter and if user doesn't specify profile, the default behavior will apply.

Since vSphere API 5.5
