Data Object Description

TargetDiskInfo contains the information required to create a target virtual disk.

Properties

Name Type Description
attachPointConverterAgentInternalDiskAttachPoint

Specify the controller we will connect this disk to, and the unit on that controller. This is intended to match the controller and unit number of the source disk on a source machine. This is used both when we are doing disk based cloning or volume based cloning, to allow a correlation between the TargetDiskInfo entry and the newly created disk device.
creationOptionsConverterAgentInternalDiskCreationOptions

Specify the creation parameters associated with this disk.
destinationDisk*ConverterAgentInternalDiskSpec

Identifies a pre-existing destination disk. The field is populated only if pre-existing disk specs were supplied to CalculateStorageLayout. It is fully compatible to set both this and attachPoint; if both are set, then the pre-existing disk will be attached to the VM as specified by attachPoint
dimensions*ConverterAgentInternalDiskSizes

Disk dimensions expressed as cylinder, head, sector (CHS) coordinates and also absolute capacity. The field is NOT populated if pre-existing disk specs were supplied to CalculateStorageLayout.
diskGuid*xsd:string

For GPT disks the signature is GUID If present then the disk is in GPT format.

Since Converter API 4.0
signature*xsd:int

Defines signature of the MBR destination disk - used set drive layout to prepare for volume-based cloning. The field is not populated for disk-based cloning.
sourceDiskDeviceNumber*xsd:int

Identifies correspondent source disk for disk level cloning. Must not be specified when performing volume level cloning.
sourceDiskLayout*ConverterAgentInternalDiskLayoutInfo

Specify information about the source disk's layout. This currently is filled in only if we are doing disk-based cloning and is used only if it turns out to be impossible to change the target disk's BIOS geometry to match that of the source disk.
sourceDiskSpec*xsd:string

Identifies correspondent source disks .vmdk file for disk level cloning with Linked Clones. Must not be specified when performing volume level cloning.
