VStorage Object Manager Base V Storage Object Extend Disk Ex Task

VStorage Object Manager Base V Storage Object Extend Disk Ex Task

Expand the capacity of a virtual disk, which is a storage object with disk, to the new capacity.

If new capacity is smaller than current disk capacity, then operation fails due to invalid capacity. If new capacity is greater than current disk capacity, then operation proceeds. If new capacity is equal to current disk ccapcity, then operation succeeds without any actual extension. The extended disk region will be the same as the original disk: - For a zerothick disk, the extended disk region will be zeroedthick. - For an eagerzerothick disk, the extended disk region will be eagerzeroedthick - A thin-provisioned disk will always be extended as a thin-provisioned disk.
