vsphere.VirtualDisk
Explore with Pulumi AI
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.

VirtualDisk Resource Properties
To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.
Inputs
In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.
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). Decreasing the size of a disk is not possible. If a disk of a smaller size is required then the original has to be destroyed along with its data and a new one has to be created.
- Vmdk
Path string - The path, including filename, of the virtual disk to
be created. This needs to end in
.vmdk. - Adapter
Type string The adapter type for this virtual disk. Can be one of
ide,lsiLogic, orbusLogic. Default:lsiLogic.NOTE:
adapter_typeis deprecated: it does not dictate the type of controller that the virtual disk will be attached to on the virtual machine. Please see thescsi_typeparameter in thevsphere.VirtualMachineresource for information on how to control disk controller types. This parameter will be removed in future versions of the vSphere provider.- Create
Directories bool Tells the resource to create any directories that are a part of the
vmdk_pathparameter if they are missing. Default:false.NOTE: Any directory created as part of the operation when
create_directoriesis enabled will not be deleted when the resource is destroyed.- Datacenter string

Import
An existing virtual disk can be imported into this resource
via supplying the full datastore path to the virtual disk. An example is below:
$ pulumi import vsphere:index/virtualDisk:VirtualDisk virtual_disk \
‘{“virtual_disk_path”: “/dc-01/[datastore-01]foo/bar.vmdk”, \ “create_directories”: “true”}’
The above would import the virtual disk located at foo/bar.vmdk in the datastore-01
datastore of the dc-01 datacenter with create_directories set as true.
To learn more about importing existing cloud resources, see Importing resources.
