Data Object - VirtualMachineFileLayoutExFileInfo(vim.vm.FileLayoutEx.FileInfo)

Property of: VirtualMachineFileLayoutEx
Extends: DynamicData
Since: vSphere API Release 4.0

Data Object Description

Basic information about a file.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
accessible*	xsd:boolean	Flag which indicates the accessibility of the file when the file info object was created. *Since* vSphere API Release 6.0
backingObjectId*	xsd:string	Backing object's durable and unmutable identifier. Each backing object has a unique identifier which is not settable. This property is applied to the file backed by a storage object, such as vvol. *Since* vSphere API Release 6.0
key	xsd:int	Key to reference this file.
name	xsd:string	Name of the file, including the complete datastore path.
size	xsd:long	Size of the file in bytes.
type	xsd:string	Type of the file. VirtualMachineFileLayoutExFileType lists all valid values.
uniqueSize*	xsd:long	Size of the file in bytes corresponding to the file blocks that were allocated uniquely. In other words, if the underlying storage supports sharing of file blocks across disk files, the property corresponds to the size of the file blocks that were allocated only in context of this file, i.e. it does not include shared blocks that were allocated in other files. This property will be unset if the underlying implementation is unable to compute this information. One example of this is when the file resides on a NAS datastore whose underlying storage doesn't support this metric. In some cases the field might be set but the value could be over-estimated due to the inability of the NAS based storage to provide an accurate value. *Since* vSphere API Release 5.1
