Alex Wheeler created CLOUDSTACK-10281: -----------------------------------------
Summary: vSphere VM disks do not honor the Service Offering Provisioning Type selected Key: CLOUDSTACK-10281 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10281 Project: CloudStack Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.) Components: Template, VMware Affects Versions: 4.10.0.0 Reporter: Alex Wheeler 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
