vm
Optional

Reference to an instance of the VirtualMachine managed object.

relocateSpec
Required

Specification for moving or copying a virtual machine to a different datastore or host.

destination
Required

Reference to an instance of the Datastore managed object.

number As float As float
spaceUtilBefore
Optional

Current space utilization on the target datastore.

Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space utilization is 70%. If not set, the value is not available.

number As float As float
spaceDemandBefore
Optional

Current space demand on the target datastore.

Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space demand is 70%. This value include the space demanded by thin provisioned VMs. Hence, it may be higher than 100%. If not set, the value is not available.

number As float As float
spaceUtilAfter
Optional

Space utilization on the target datastore after placing the virtual disk.

Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space utilization is 70%. If not set, the value is not available.

number As float As float
spaceDemandAfter
Optional

Space demand on the target datastore after placing the virtual disk.

Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space demand is 70%. This value include the space demanded by thin provisioned VMs. Hence, it may be higher than 100%. If not set, the value is not available.

number As float As float
ioLatencyBefore
Optional

Current I/O latency on the target datastore.

Unit: millisecond. If not set, the value is not available.
