![]() In contrast to the flat file format ( -flat.vmdk), the data remaining on the physical device is zeroed out when the virtual disk is created. Space required for the virtual disk is allocated at creation time. Thick Provision Eager Zeroed is a type of thick virtual disk that supports clustering features such as Fault tolerance. Data remaining on the physical device is not erased during creation, but is zeroed out later, on demand, on first write from the virtual machine. Space required for the virtual disk is allocated when the virtual disk is created. The Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed format creates a virtual disk in a default thick format. Same format as source uses the same disk format as the source virtual machine. Select the disk format for the virtual machine virtual disks.You can also convert a standard hard disk to a PMem hard disk.Ĭlone a virtual machine that does not have vPMem hard disks (Optional) Turn on the Configure per disk option to select a separate datastore or a datastor cluster for the template configuration file and for each virtual disk.Ĭonfigure per disk option to convert a PMem hard disk to a regular one, but that change might cause performance problems.Select the Disable Storage DRS for this virtual machine check box if you do not want to use storage DRS with the virtual machine.Select a datastore or a datastore cluster.(Optional) From the VM Storage Policy drop-down menu, select a virtual machine storage policy or leave the default one.From the Select virtual disk format drop-down menu, select a new virtual disk format for the template or keep the same format as the source virtual machine.Non-PMem disks are affected by your choice of a VM storage policy and datastore or datastore cluster.įor more information about persistent memory and PMem storage, see the vSphere Resource Management guide. If you select the Hybrid mode, all PMem virtual disks remain stored on a PMem datastore. Configuration files cannot be stored on a PMem datastore and you must additionally select a regular datastore for the configuration files of the virtual machine. If you select the PMem mode, all virtual disks are stored on the host-local PMem datastore. If you select the Standard mode, all virtual disks are stored on a standard datastore. Choose the type of storage for the template by selecting the Standard, the PMem, or the Hybrid radio button.OptionĬlone a virtual machine that has vPMem hard disks On the Select storage page, select the datastore or datastore cluster in which to store the template configuration files and all of the virtual disks.Otherwise, all the hard disks of the template will use the storage policy and datastore selected for the configuration files of the source virtual machine. ![]() If the virtual machine that you clone does not have an NVDIMM device, but it has virtual PMem hard disks, the destination host or cluster must have available PMem resource. Otherwise, you cannot proceed with the task. If the virtual machine that you clone has an NVDIMM device and virtual PMem hard disks, the destination host or cluster must have available PMem resource.
