- | info | Details about the data set. |
-.name | string | The name of the data set. It is recommended that this value take the form "com.company.project" to avoid conflict with other uses.. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.
|
-.description | string | A description of how the data set is used by its creator. This field can contain up to 1024 bytes. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.
|
-.host | string | Host access control. XXX do we want this? Does anything but FULL make any sense? Or just make it symmetric in case? Any decision should only effect docs and impl, so we should be able to change it. Possible use-cases for non-FULL: - read-only for a built-in data set (eg guest status data) - if data set creation from the GOS is ever added, full access control may be useful. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Possible Entry access modes. Warning: This enumeration is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Value is one of: |
-.guest | string | Guest access control. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Possible Entry access modes. Warning: This enumeration is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Value is one of: |
-.size | long | The total size in bytes of the Entry data that can be used by this data set. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.
|
-.used | long | The total size in bytes of the Entry data in use by this data set. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented.
|
-.disk_mode | boolean | If set, the data set is treated like a disk on certain virtual machine operations. The data set is copied when the virtual machine is cloned or a snapshot is taken. Otherwise the data set is considered a property of the virtual machine, and is not included in a a snapshot operation or when the virtual machine is cloned. When a virtual machine is reverted to a snapshot, any data set without {@link #diskMode) set will be destroyed. Any data set with esx.vm.data_sets.info.disk_mode set will be restored to the state when the snapshot was created. XXX field name, wording and terminology needs work. 'disk' mode (data is cloned & snapshotted) vs 'VM' mode was first suggestion. Other suggestions: checkpointRequired includeInSnapshotsAndClones.
