I’m wanting (for testing backups) to convert a disk on a VG from thin provisioned to thick. I’m not sure how to do this with ncli/acli, API or UI. Is this going to require qemu image commands?
Nutanix AHV works with Thin. In ESX you can use both.
More info here: https://www.joshodgers.com/2017/07/27/its-2017-lets-review-thick-vs-thin-provisioning/
For AHV disk will be thin only. for ESXi you can chose thick or thin
This was my assumption as well...However, why does API respond with the following:
{
"disk_address" :
{
"device_bus" : "scsi",
"device_index" : 1,
"disk_label" : "scsi.1",
"ndfs_filepath" : "/storagecontainer/.acropolis/vmdisk/7c22b170-1400-4dc6-8434-79b40884089e",
"vmdisk_uuid" : "7c22b170-1400-4dc6-8434-79b40884089e"
},
"flash_mode_enabled" : false,
"is_cdrom" : false,
"is_empty" : false,
"is_scsi_passthrough" : true,
"is_thin_provisioned" : false,
"shared" : false,
"size" : 6442450944000,
"storage_container_uuid" : "f396603a-ce0f-4d33-9a6b-4fe2695f698c"
}
I am trying to reproduce the above output but alas, mine consistently shows ‘true’ for is_thin_provisioned.
