## Data Object Description

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
bootLoaderInfo | ConverterComputerOsInfoBootLoaderInfo | Boot loader information Since Converter API 6.0
callGrubInstall | xsd:boolean | Whether helper will call grub-install during reconfig. Since Converter API 6.0
currentEfiBootEntry* | xsd:string | Current EFI boot entry. Present only if the machine has EFI firmware. Since Converter API 4.0
defaultFileSystem* | xsd:string | File system used to format the destination volumes for which no specific formatter is availabele in the helper. Defaults to ext3 if unset. Since Converter 6.6 API
disk* | ConverterAgentHelperConverterHelperParamsTargetDiskParams[] |
doReconfig* | xsd:boolean |
dracut | xsd:string | The dracut binary path on the source. Will be used for creating the initramfs image during reconfig. Empty string means the source has no dracut. Since Converter API 6.0
keepSparseFile* | xsd:boolean | If this flag is set as true, then we will pass "--sparse" option to "tar" when packaging source's filesystem. Using "--sparse", "tar" could deal with sparse files more efficiently, with the cost of reading source files twice (to determine if they are sparse).
optimizedPartitionAlignment* | xsd:boolean | For volume-based cloning specifies whether "standard" or "optimized" partition layout should be created on the target. In standard mode the partitions are aligned on cylinder/track boundaries: 1. Create primary partitions and/or ONE extended partition as they exist. 2. All partitions and volumes end at cylinder boundaries. 3. All partitions start either at a cylinder boundary or at the second track after a cylinder boundary. 4. All logical volumes start at the second track of the containing extended partition. In optimized mode all partition start and end sectors are aligned on 64 KB boundaries ignoring the actual disk geometry. For disk-based cloning this option is ignored. Since Converter API 3.0
osVersion* | ConverterComputerOsInfoOsVersion |
skippedSourceMountPoints* | xsd:string[] | A list of source volumes which is skipped during the conversion. The entries corresponding to these volumes will be commented out in target VM's fstab.
usePredictableInterfaceNames | xsd:boolean | Instructs helper to use predictable interface names instead of the standard ethN naming scheme for network interfaces when doing network reconfig. Since Converter API 6.0
useSudo* | xsd:boolean | If this flag is set to true, we will use "sudo" when "taring" the source's filesystems. We assume the remote source is setup in a way that sudo password is NOT required. Also the source should not have restriction on "sudo" from remote, e.g. they must have "Defaults requiretty" line commented out in their /etc/sudoers
