VMFS datastore provisioning option that can be applied on a disk.

VMFS datastores can be created or have their capacity increased using storage from a disk. There are often multiple ways in which extents can be allocated on a disk. Each instance of this structure represents one of the possible options that can be applied to provisioning VMFS datastore storage. Only options that follow ESX Server best practice guidelines will be presented.

NotFound: if the specified datastore could not be found or is unmounted.

HostConfigFault: if unable to get partition information for the devices on which the extents reside

NotSupported: if the host is not an ESX Server.
