pyvmomi克隆时没有精简条款

我正在尝试使用pyVmomi在VMWare中克隆VM。

但是,我无法为磁盘进行精简配置。

以下是我认为与复制问题相关的代码部分。

def find_disk(vm,index):
"""Return the disk of the given index in the vm"""
    i=0
    for device in vm.config.hardware.device:
        if hasattr(device.backing,"fileName"):
            if i==index:
                return device
            else:
                i +=1

def disk_controller(vm):
    """Return the first disk controller for the given vm"""
    for device in vm.config.hardware.device:
        if isinstance(device,vim.vm.device.VirtualSCSIController):
            return device

# retrieve the template
template=retrieve_template_vm()
disk=find_disk(template,0)
controller=disk_controller(template)    
## Create the the clonespec
clonespec=vim.vm.CloneSpec()    
# Define the disk-change specification for changing the template's hard disk
disk_spec=vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceSpec()
disk_spec.operation=vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceSpec.Operation.edit
disk_spec.device=disk
disk_spec.device.controllerKey=controller.key
disk_spec.device.capacityInKB=60*1024*1024
disk_spec.device.backing.thinProvisioned=True
clonespec.config=vim.vm.ConfigSpec(numCPUs=2,memoryMB=4096,deviceChange=[disk_spec])
...
# Make other changes to the clone spec, such as setting datastore and cluster
...    
template.Clone(folder=FOLDER,name=NEW_VM_NAME,spec=clonespec)    

除了磁盘的精简配置之外,一切似乎都在使用克隆。当我在克隆之前打印出clonespec时,我看到以下内容(请注意thinProvisioned = true部分):

     (vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceSpec) {
        dynamicType = <unset>,

              shares = 1000,
              level = 'normal'
           },
           storageIOAllocation = (vim.StorageResourceManager.IOAllocationInfo) {
              dynamicType = <unset>,
              dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
              limit = -1,
              shares = (vim.SharesInfo) {
                 dynamicType = <unset>,
                 dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
                 shares = 1000,
                 level = 'normal'
              },
              reservation = 0
           },
           diskObjectId = '26-2000',
           vFlashCacheConfigInfo = <unset>
        },
        profile = (vim.vm.ProfileSpec) []

当我通过GUI克隆后检查磁盘规格时,硬盘详细信息说&#34;厚供应懒惰归零&#34;。

有人知道为什么新磁盘没有进行精简配置,应该做些什么呢?

编辑当我第一次写这个问题时,我遗漏了关键的代码行disk_spec.device.backing.thinProvisioned=True,现在包含在上面。这已经包含在我的真实脚本中了,所以问题仍然存在。

更新通过将模板迁移到精简置备磁盘,可以为生成的VM创建精简置备磁盘。但是,代码的问题仍然存在,因为它似乎应该工作。

我相信问题可能会解决,添加类似于:

的行
disk_spec.fileOperation="create"

这应该指定对device_spec.backing的更改,但在我的试验中,这导致克隆中断。如果有人知道如何进行上述工作,我们将不胜感激。

我找到了答案,由fire a simple event发布:

clonespec.Location.Transform = VirtualMachineRelocateTransformation.sparse; // This location seemed to be the key.
     

对于精简配置,请使用稀疏
  对于厚配置,请使用平面

答案 1 :(得分:0)

VirtualMachineRelocateTransformation已被删除。请改用vim.vm.RelocateSpec.DiskLocator:

disk_locator = vim.vm.RelocateSpec.DiskLocator()
disk_locator.diskBackingInfo = vim.vm.device.VirtualDisk.FlatVer2BackingInfo()
disk_locator.diskBackingInfo.eagerlyScrub = True
disk_locator.diskBackingInfo.thinProvisioned = False
for device in template_vm.config.hardware.device:
    if hasattr(device.backing, 'fileName'):
        disk_locator.diskId = device.key
        break
disk_locator.datastore = datastore_object
relospec.disk.append(disk_locator)

上面的示例克隆VM并将磁盘类型更改为密集配置的急切归零。
