## vcenter ovf: size params

The `size_params` structure contains estimates of the download and deployment sizes.

This information is based on the file references and the ovf:DiskSection in the OVF descriptor.

See deploy and filter.

#### Attributes:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
Optional
approximate_download_size | long | A best guess as to the total amount of data that must be transferred to download the OVF package. This may be inaccurate due to disk compression etc. Optional. This field is not used in the input parameters when deploying an OVF package. This field is optional in the result when retrieving information about an OVF package. It will be unset if there is insufficient information to provide a proper estimate.
approximate_flat_deployment_size | long | A best guess as to the total amount of space required to deploy the OVF package if using flat disks. Optional. This field is not used in the input parameters when deploying an OVF package. This field is optional in the result when retrieving information about an OVF package. It will be unset if there is insufficient information to provide a proper estimate.
approximate_sparse_deployment_size | long | A best guess as to the total amount of space required to deploy the OVF package using sparse disks. Optional. This field is not used in the input parameters when deploying an OVF package. This field is optional in the result when retrieving information about an OVF package. It will be unset if there is insufficient information to provide a proper estimate.
variable_disk_size | boolean | Whether the OVF uses variable disk sizes. For empty disks, rather than specifying a fixed virtual disk capacity, the capacity may be given using a reference to a ovf:Property element in a ovf:ProductSection element in OVF package. Optional. This field is not used in the input parameters when deploying an OVF package. This field is optional in the result when retrieving information about an OVF package. If unset or false, the OVF does not use variable disk sizes.
type | string | Unique identifier describing the type of the OVF parameters. The value is the name of the OVF parameters structure. Optional. This field must be provided in the input parameters when deploying an OVF package. This field will always be present in the result when retrieving information about an OVF package.
