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?
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.
Nutanix AHV works with Thin. In ESX you can use both.
