## Data Object Description

Describes a single storage initial placement action for placing a virtual machine or a set of virtual disks on a datastore.

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
destination | ManagedObjectReference to a Datastore | Target datastore.
ioLatencyBefore* | xsd:float | Current I/O latency on the target datastore. Unit: millisecond. If not set, the value is not available.
relocateSpec | VirtualMachineRelocateSpec | Specification for placing a virtual machine or a set of virtual disks to a datastore.
spaceDemandAfter* | xsd:float | Space demand on the target datastore after placing the virtual disk. Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space demand is 70%. This value include the space demanded by thin provisioned VMs. Hence, it may be higher than 100%. If not set, the value is not available. Since vSphere API 6.0
spaceDemandBefore* | xsd:float | Current space demand on the target datastore. Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space demand is 70%. This value include the space demanded by thin provisioned VMs. Hence, it may be higher than 100%. If not set, the value is not available. Since vSphere API 6.0
spaceUtilAfter* | xsd:float | Space utilization on the target datastore after placing the virtual disk. Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space utilization is 70%. If not set, the value is not available.
spaceUtilBefore* | xsd:float | Current space utilization on the target datastore. Unit: percentage. For example, if set to 70.0, space utilization is 70%. If not set, the value is not available.
vm* | ManagedObjectReference to a VirtualMachine | Virtual machine reference. It is possible that the VM has not been created, in which case, this property is left unset.
