Virtual Disk Manager Query Virtual Disk Fragmentation

Virtual Disk Manager Query Virtual Disk Fragmentation

The datacenter parameter may be omitted if a URL is used to name the disk.

Requires Datastore.FileManagement privilege on the datastore where the virtual disk resides.

Required privileges: System.View
