Data Object Properties

Name Type Description
useSeparateDatastoresReplicaAndOSDisks xsd: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) :- 3 4 5 2
replicaDiskDatastore DatastoreId Datastore to store replica disks for View Composer and Instant clone engine sourced machines. Note(s) :- 6 1 7
useNativeSnapshots xsd: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) :- 8 2
spaceReclamationSettings DesktopSpaceReclamationSettings Settings related to the Space Reclamation feature.
persistentDiskSettings DesktopPersistentDiskSettings Instant clone preserves the user information on the persistent disk when the OS data is updated. This feature is supported for Instant clone pool from 2303 (8.9) release.
nonPersistentDiskSettings DesktopNonPersistentDiskSettings Deprecated.This is being deprecated since View Composer will no longer be supported from Horizon version 2012 onwards. Changes to this disk are discarded when the user's session ends.
