VMware Cloud Settings
Configure the fields described in the table below for VMware cloud regions. These fields are configurable for the following features:
Workload Manager does not explicitly request the disk provisioning type for root disk or additional volumes on the virtual machines that it deploys on vCenter, to be thin provisioning, thick provisioning eager zeroes or thick provisioning lazy zeroed. The root disk provisioning type is the vCenter default which is the same format as the source template or snapshot on the VM. For additional volumes it will either be the vCenter default or the datastore default depending on the type of datastore.
Select the required option from the dropdown lists for each field identified in the following table:
Field | Description | ||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Root Disk | The Root Disk setting is available in the Tier Settings > Volumes section on the Deployments page (not the Deployment Environment Defaults page). You can only select the Root Disk size if the Cloning Mode is set to Full Clone (Enable Full Clone = Selected). Specify the Root disk size to be greater than the size specified in your template/snapshot. | ||||||||||||

Enable Full Clone | If you use VM Template when configuring images for VMware cloud environments, be aware of the following settings.
When you use a Snapshot, both the Linked Clone and Full Clone options are possible settings. To configure these settings, you should have already configured the following entities in VMware:
