-----------------------------------------
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.
