size_params

The size_params structure contains estimates of the download and deployment sizes.

This information is based on the file references and the ovf:DiskSection in the OVF descriptor.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Required	Description
approximate_download_size	long	Read	A best guess as to the total amount of data that must be transferred to download the OVF package. This may be inaccurate due to disk compression etc.
approximate_flat_deployment_size	long	Read	A best guess as to the total amount of space required to deploy the OVF package if using flat disks.
approximate_sparse_deployment_size	long	Read	A best guess as to the total amount of space required to deploy the OVF package using sparse disks.
variable_disk_size	boolean	Read	Whether the OVF uses variable disk sizes. For empty disks, rather than specifying a fixed virtual disk capacity, the capacity may be given using a reference to a ovf:Property element in a ovf:ProductSection element in OVF package.
type	string	Create, Read	Unique identifier describing the type of the OVF parameters. The value is the name of the OVF parameters structure.
