Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
basicHardwareParams* | ConverterBasicHardwareParams |
The virtual hardware configuration of the target VM.
If not set, the target VM will have the hardware as
close as possible to the source system.
|
doFinalize* | xsd:boolean |
Specify whether the synchronization will be final.
Can be set only if doSynchronize
is set to true.
* If unset the conversion will be finalized. Since Converter API 3.0 |
doSynchronize* | xsd:boolean |
Specifies whether "Apply changes from source to destination"
(a.k.a. P2V motion or "synchronization") will be performed in the current
conversion.
Important: This flag can only be set when the following flag is enabled: canSynchronize. If unset the feature will not be performed. Since Converter API 2.0 |
incrementalP2VCloningParams* | ConverterIncrementalP2VCloningParams |
Only applicable to block-level live P2V.
If set, then the current conversion is for incremental P2V and it provides
incremental specific parameters.
Otherwise, it is a one-task P2V.
Since Converter API 3.0 |
networkParams* | ConverterNetworkParams |
Target network configuration information.
If not specified, the default storage cloning parameters are used.
The default is to have create the same number of NICs on
the target as there are NICs on the source and to maintain
the NIC mapping whenever possible.
|
nextBitmapId* | xsd:string |
Only applicable to block-level live P2V.
ID of the write tracking bitmap which will be used to track
writes since the beginning of the current iteration to know
which blocks have changed during the next iteration.
If not specified, writes will not be tracked.
Since Converter API 2.0 |
preserveDeviceBacking* | xsd:boolean |
Preserve Device backing information of CDROM, Floppy, Serial Port,
and Parallel Port from the source in the target VM.
If false, the backings are reset to default values.
The default is false.
|
preserveIdentity* | xsd:boolean |
Preserve uuid.bios from the source machine in the target machine to
keep identity intact.
If false, uuid.bios is not set and will be re-created when the target
VM boots for the first time.
The default is false.
|
prevBitmapIds* | xsd:string[] |
Only applicable to block-level live P2V.
ID(s) of write tracking bitmaps which have been tracking
changes since the last cloning iteration.
Since Converter API 2.0 |
servicesToSuspend* | xsd:string[] |
List of services to suspend before creating a snapshot.
The array should contain values returned in
serviceName
Valid only for hot-cloning.
|
snapshotSource* | xsd:boolean |
Only applicable to block-level live P2V.
If True, create snapshot of the source file systems
before cloning. If False, clone using "raw" live source volumes.
The default is True.
This field will be used in multi-phase P2V Motion where the incremental
P2V iterations except the last one do not snapshot the source volumes.
Since Converter API 2.0 |
storageParams* | ConverterStorageParams |
Storage (disk/volumes) cloning parameters.
If not specified, the default storage cloning parameters are used.
For VMI, the default is disk-based cloning of all disks.
For P2V, the default is volume-based cloning of all volumes
without resize.
|
target* | ConverterTargetVmSpec |
Specification for the destination location for the target VM.
|
useProxyMode* | xsd:boolean |
Used only for Windows P2V conversions that establish direct
connection from the source to the destination ESX server. If set to
'true' the traffic is redirected to Converter Worker process which in
turn forwards it to the destination ESX server. If set to 'false' or
unset, the agent on the source is establishing direct connection to
the destination ESX server.
Default value: false
Since Converter API 6.0 |
