Checking disktype with PCLI

[pawellakomski]

Hi,

During virtual hard drive creation, I've got an option to select:

Support clustering features such as Fault Tolerance

Is  it possible to check on the disk, after having it created, if the  option was checked or not? I don't think it is possible from vSphere  client but maybe from PowerCLI?

Cheers,

Pawel

That information is stored in the eagerlyScrub property in the VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo object.

You can display this as follows

Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | `
 Select @{N="";E={$_.Parent.Name}},
    Name,
    @{N="FT support";E={$_.Extensiondata.Backing.EagerlyScrub}}

If the disk does not have FT support, the property will show up as empty or as $false
