HostDiskDimensionsLba

capacity

Required

This data object type describes the logical block addressing system that uses block numbers and block sizes to refer to a block.

This scheme is employed by SCSI. If a SCSI disk is not involved, then blockSize is 512 bytes.

string

devicePath

Required

The device path of the ScsiDisk.

This device path is a file path that can be opened to create partitions on the disk.

See also HostStorageSystem.RetrieveDiskPartitionInfo, HostStorageSystem.UpdateDiskPartitions.

boolean

ssd

Optional

Indicates whether the ScsiDisk is SSD backed.

If unset, the information whether the ScsiDisk is SSD backed is unknown.

boolean

localDisk

Optional

Indicates whether the ScsiDisk is local.

If unset, the information whether the ScsiDisk is local is unknown.

array of string

physicalLocation

Optional

The physical location of the ScsiDisk if can be determined, otherwise unset.

If the ScsiDisk is a logical drive, it should be the location of all constituent physical drives of the logical drive. If the ScsiDisk is a physical drive, it's an array of one element.

boolean

emulatedDIXDIFEnabled

Optional

Indicates whether the ScsiDisk has emulated Data Integrity Extension (DIX) / Data Integrity Field (DIF) enabled.

If unset, the default value is false.

VsanHostVsanDiskInfo

vsanDiskInfo

Optional

A VsanDiskInfo represents the additional detailed information of a ScsiDisk used by VSAN, to map physical disk to VSAN disk.
