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.
