Virtual Disk Manager
The following methods in managed object
VirtualDiskManager
are affected by encryption:copyVirtualDisk
– If the source disk is encrypted, its copied disk is encrypted with the same key, regardless of the crypto
spec. When calling copyVirtualDisk_Task
on vCenter Server, do not specify the destSpec
parameter, which throws a Not Implemented fault; destSpec
is supported only on ESXi hosts.createVirtualDisk
– Given a valid crypto
spec, this task directly creates an encrypted virtual disk.moveVirtualDisk
– An encrypted virtual disk cannot be moved to an unencrypted virtual machine.createChildDisk
– The child disk of an encrypted disk remains encrypted with the same key.reparentDisks
– Encrypted child disk cannot be reparented to a new disk that is not in the same disk chain.
