vim.vm.device.VirtualDiskOption.FlatVer1BackingOption
=====================================================
This data object type contains the available options when backing a virtual disk using a host file with the flat file format from GSX Server 2.x. Flat disks are pre-allocated, whereas sparse disks are grown as needed.
:extends: vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceOption.FileBackingOption_
Attributes:
diskMode (`vim.option.ChoiceOption`_):
The disk mode. Valid disk modes are:
* `persistent`_
*
* `nonpersistent`_
*
* `undoable`_
*
* `independent_persistent`_
*
* `independent_nonpersistent`_
*
* `append`_
*
* See
* `VirtualDiskMode`_
*
split (`vim.option.BoolOption`_):
Flag to indicate whether or not the host supports allowing the client to select whether or not a disk should be split.
writeThrough (`vim.option.BoolOption`_):
Flag to indicate whether or not the host supports allowing the client to select "writethrough" as a mode for virtual disks. Typically, this is available only for GSX Server Linux hosts.
growable (`bool`_):
Flag to indicate whether this backing can have its size changed.
