Data Object Properties

Properties

Name	Type	Description
useSeparateDatastoresReplicaAndOSDisks	xsd:boolean	Whether to use separate datastores for replica and OS disks. This option enables control over the placement of the replica that View Composer and Instant clone engine sourced desktops use as their base image. It is recommended that a high performance datastore be chosen for these images. Depending on your hardware configuration, storing replicas on a separate datastore might create a single point of failure. Note(s) :- Fast NFS Clones (VAAI) will be unavailable if the Replica disks are stored separately from the OS disks. Datastores with file system type VVOL will also be unavailable if the Replica disks are stored separately from the OS disks. This setting is applicable to both View Composer and Instant clone engine sourced desktops. This property has a default value of false.
replicaDiskDatastore	DatastoreId	Datastore to store replica disks for View Composer and Instant clone engine sourced machines. Note(s) :- For Instant clone desktops, this can be modified only if there are no current operations ( operation is NONE). This property need not be set. This property is required if useSeparateDatastoresReplicaAndOSDisks is set to true.
useNativeSnapshots	xsd:boolean	Native NFS Snapshots (VAAI - vStorage API for Array Integration) is a hardware feature of certain storage arrays. It uses native snapshotting technology to provide linked clone functionality. Only choose this option if you have appropriate hardware devices. All the selected OS disk datastores should support this. Note(s) :- For Instant clone desktops, this setting can only be set to false. This property has a default value of false.
spaceReclamationSettings	DesktopSpaceReclamationSettings	Settings related to the Space Reclamation feature.
persistentDiskSettings	DesktopPersistentDiskSettings	View Composer preserves the user information on the persistent disk when the OS data is updated, refreshed, or rebalanced.
nonPersistentDiskSettings	DesktopNonPersistentDiskSettings	Changes to this disk are discarded when the user's session ends.
