array of DesktopPoolDatastoreSettings

datastores

Optional

Datastores to store the machine (or the OS disk using other options for linked clone or instant clone machine storage)

string

non_persistent_disk_drive_letter

Optional

Non persistent disk drive letter.

integer As int32 As int32

non_persistent_disk_size_mb

Optional

Size of the non persistent disk in MB.

boolean

non_persistent_redirect_disposable_files

Optional

Redirect disposable files to a non-persistent disk that will be deleted automatically when a user's session ends.

array of DesktopPoolDatastoreSettings

persistent_disk_datastores

Optional

Datastores to store persistent disks for linked clone machines.

string

persistent_disk_drive_letter

Optional

Persistent disk drive letter.

integer As int32 As int32

persistent_disk_size_mb

Optional

Size of the persistent disk in MB.

boolean

reclaim_vm_disk_space

Optional

With vSphere 5.x, virtual machines can be configured to use a space efficient disk format that supports reclamation of unused disk space (such as deleted files). This option reclaims unused disk space on each virtual machine. The operation is initiated when an estimate of used disk space exceeds the specified threshold.

integer As int64 As int64

reclamation_threshold_mb

Optional

Initiate reclamation when unused space on virtual machine exceeds the threshold in MB.

boolean

redirect_windows_profile

Optional

Windows profiles will be redirected to persistent disks, which are not affected by View Composer operations such as refresh, recompose and rebalance.

string

replica_disk_datastore_id

Optional

Datastore to store replica disks for linked clone and instant clone machines.

boolean

use_native_snapshots

Optional

Applicable To: Linked/instant clone automated desktop pool.
Native NFS Snapshots (VAAI - vStorage API for Array Integration) is a hardware feature of certain storage arrays. It uses native snapshotting technology to provide linked clone functionality.

boolean

use_separate_datastores_persistent_and_os_disks

Optional

Whether to use separate datastores for persistent and OS disks.

boolean

use_separate_datastores_replica_and_os_disks

Optional

Whether to use separate datastores for replica and OS disks.

boolean

use_vsan

Optional

Whether to use vSphere vSAN.
