Re: How to create dynamic vmdk file?

What do you mean by "dynamic"? You can specify disk type in VixDiskLibCreateParams::diskType. It can have next values:

VIXDISKLIB_DISK_MONOLITHIC_SPARSE - One extendable file for vmdk.

VIXDISKLIB_DISK_MONOLITHIC_FLAT -  one file with pre-allocated space

VIXDISKLIB_DISK_SPLIT_SPARSE - splitted on multiple extendable files

VIXDISKLIB_DISK_SPLIT_FLAT - splitted on multiple fixed files(pre-allocated)
