VirtualMachineFileLayoutEx

Detailed description of files that make up a virtual machine on disk.

The file layout is broken into 4 major sections:

Configuration: Files stored in the configuration directory
Log: Files stored in the log directory
Disk: Files stored relative to a disk configuration file
Snapshot: Stored in the snapshot directory

Often the same directory is used for configuration, log, disk and snapshots.

array of VirtualMachineFileLayoutExFileInfo

file

Optional

Information about all the files that constitute the virtual machine including configuration files, disks, swap file, suspend file, log files, core files, memory file etc.

VirtualMachineFileLayoutExFileTypeEnum lists the different file-types that make a virtual machine.

array of VirtualMachineFileLayoutExDiskLayout

disk

Optional

Layout of each virtual disk attached to the virtual machine.

For a virtual machine with snaphots, this property gives only those disks that are attached to it at the current point of running.

array of VirtualMachineFileLayoutExSnapshotLayout

snapshot

Optional

Layout of each snapshot of the virtual machine.
