Data Object Description
This data object type describes a SCSI disk. A SCSI disk contains a partition table which can be changed. To change a SCSI disk, use the device name and the partition specification.See RetrieveDiskPartitionInfo
See UpdateDiskPartitions
Properties
| Name | Type | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| capacity | HostDiskDimensionsLba | 
         The size of SCSI disk using the Logical Block Addressing scheme.
       | 
| devicePath | xsd:string | 
         The device path of the ScsiDisk.  This device path is a file path
  that can be opened to create partitions on the disk. See RetrieveDiskPartitionInfo See UpdateDiskPartitions  | 
| emulatedDIXDIFEnabled* | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicates whether the ScsiDisk has emulated Data Integrity Extension
 (DIX) / Data Integrity Field (DIF) enabled.
 If unset, the default value is false.
      
Since vSphere API Release 6.0 | 
| localDisk* | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicates whether the ScsiDisk is local.
 If unset, the information whether the ScsiDisk is local is unknown.
      
Since vSphere API Release 6.0 | 
| physicalLocation* | xsd:string[] | 
         The physical location of the ScsiDisk if can be determined, otherwise
 unset. If the ScsiDisk is a logical drive, it should be the
 location of all constituent physical drives of the logical drive.
 If the ScsiDisk is a physical drive, it's an array of one element.
      
Since vSphere API Release 6.0 | 
| scsiDiskType* | xsd:string | 
         The type of disk drives. See ScsiDiskType
 for definitions of supported types.
      
Since vSphere API Release 6.5 | 
| ssd* | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicates whether the ScsiDisk is SSD backed.
 If unset, the information whether the ScsiDisk is SSD backed
 is unknown.
      
Since vSphere API Release 5.0 | 
| usedByMemoryTiering* | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicate whether the disk is used for
 memory tiering or not.
 If unset, the default value is false.
      
Since vSphere API Release 8.0.3.0 | 
| vsanDiskInfo* | VsanHostVsanDiskInfo | 
         Indicates the additional VSAN information
 if this disk is used by VSAN.
