VirtualDisk

The vsphere.VirtualDisk resource can be used to create virtual disks outside of any given vsphere.VirtualMachine resource. These disks can be attached to a virtual machine by creating a disk block with the attach parameter.

Example Usage

using Pulumi;
using VSphere = Pulumi.VSphere;

class MyStack : Stack
{
    public MyStack()
    {
        var myDisk = new VSphere.VirtualDisk("myDisk", new VSphere.VirtualDiskArgs
        {
            Datacenter = "Datacenter",
            Datastore = "local",
            Size = 2,
            Type = "thin",
            VmdkPath = "myDisk.vmdk",
        });
    }

}

package main

import (
    "github.com/pulumi/pulumi-vsphere/sdk/v2/go/vsphere"
    "github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v2/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
    pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
        _, err := vsphere.NewVirtualDisk(ctx, "myDisk", &vsphere.VirtualDiskArgs{
            Datacenter: pulumi.String("Datacenter"),
            Datastore:  pulumi.String("local"),
            Size:       pulumi.Int(2),
            Type:       pulumi.String("thin"),
            VmdkPath:   pulumi.String("myDisk.vmdk"),
        })
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }
        return nil
    })
}

import pulumi
import pulumi_vsphere as vsphere

my_disk = vsphere.VirtualDisk("myDisk",
    datacenter="Datacenter",
    datastore="local",
    size=2,
    type="thin",
    vmdk_path="myDisk.vmdk")

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as vsphere from "@pulumi/vsphere";

const myDisk = new vsphere.VirtualDisk("myDisk", {
    datacenter: "Datacenter",
    datastore: "local",

VirtualDisk Resource Properties

To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Programming Model docs.

Inputs

The VirtualDisk resource accepts the following input properties:

Datastore string

The name of the datastore in which to create the disk.

Size int

Size of the disk (in GB).
