Alex Wheeler updated CLOUDSTACK-10281:

Description:
Regardless of the Provisioning Type selected (Fat, Sparse, Thin), all
instantiated vSphere VM disks are thin when the storage supports thin.
Doing a little sleuthing, it turns out that the creation of data disks is
easily fixed in *VmwareStorageProcessor.java*
However, the root disk is always created as a clone with the same disk type as
the template, which being ova is always thin. The vSphere API seems to allow
specifying the disk type during clone, and we've taken a stab at that, but so
far to no avail.
Hoping someone can shed some light on this. Code samples forthcoming.
We are using Cloudstack 4.10, and vSphere 6.0
