Data Object Properties

Properties

Name Type Description
useSeparateDatastoresReplicaAndOSDisksxsd:boolean

Whether to use separate datastores for replica and OS disks. This option enables control over the placement of the replica that View Composer and Instant clone engine sourced desktops use as their base image. It is recommended that a high performance datastore be chosen for these images. Depending on your hardware configuration, storing replicas on a separate datastore might create a single point of failure. Note(s) :-
  • Fast NFS Clones (VAAI) will be unavailable if the Replica disks are stored separately from the OS disks.
  • Datastores with file system type VVOL will also be unavailable if the Replica disks are stored separately from the OS disks.
  • This setting is applicable to both View Composer and Instant clone engine sourced desktops.

  • This property has a default value of false.
replicaDiskDatastoreDatastoreId

Datastore to store replica disks for View Composer and Instant clone engine sourced machines. Note(s) :-
  • For Instant clone desktops, this can be modified only if there are no current operations ( operation is NONE).

useNativeSnapshotsxsd:boolean

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. Only choose this option if you have appropriate hardware devices. All the selected OS disk datastores should support this. Note(s) :-
  • For Instant clone desktops, this setting can only be set to false.

  • This property has a default value of false.
