Virtual Disk Manager Extend Virtual Disk Task
Deprecated as of vSphere 6.5, use HostExtendDisk_Task instead.
Expand the capacity of a virtual disk to the new capacity.
If the eagerZero flag is not specified, - the extended disk region of a zerothick disk will be zeroedthick - the extended disk region of a eagerzerothick disk will be eagerzeroedthick - a thin-provisioned disk will always be extended as a thin-provisioned disk. If the eagerZero flag TRUE, the extended region of the disk will always be eagerly zeroed. If the eagerZero flag FALSE, the extended region of a zeroedthick or eagerzeroedthick the disk will not be eagerly zeroed. This condition has no effect on a thin source disk.
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
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId
, in this case VirtualDiskManager/{moId}
.
The vSphere release schema. The current specification covers vSphere 9.0.0.0 APIs.
"ExtendVirtualDiskRequestType Object"
The name of the disk, either a datastore path or a URL referring to the virtual disk whose capacity should be expanded.
If name
is a datastore path, the datacenter for
that datastore path. Not needed when invoked directly on ESX.
If not specified on a call to VirtualCenter,
name
must be a URL.
The new capacty of the virtual disk in Kb.
If true, the extended part of the disk will be explicitly filled with zeroes.
This method returns a Task object with which to monitor the operation.
"MoRefTask Object"
FileFault: if an error occurs extending the virtual disk.
InvalidDatastore: if the operation cannot be performed on the datastore.
"VimFault Object"
