## Data Object Description

ConverterAgentInternalLocalVMOptions defines options for creating a local virtual machine.

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
baseDir | xsd:string | The directory where the VM files will be stored.
linkToSourceDisks | xsd:boolean | Should we create "Linked Clones" of the source disks. This is the case for MS VirtualPC Disks and Symantec V2I disks. This is a copy of the VMImportOptions variable of the same name. This will cause us not to create new disks, but to wrap the VPC or V2I disks with deltaDisks that give us access to the disks. This is much faster.
sourceVM* | xsd:string | If linkToSourceDisks is TRUE, then this field MUST be filled in with the path the source VM. It must reside on a local disk that can be accessed by the target VM. The target VM will be in the baseDir (variable above) directory and the .vmdk disks will reference disks in the directory specfied by sourceVM. Examples: Case MS VPC: "c:\Virtual\Machines\MSVPC.vmc" <- Notice, not a vmdk or vmx Case V2I: "c:\Virtual\Machines\Symmantec.sv2i" Case VMWare: "c:\VMWare\Rocks\MyVM.vmx"
writeToSourceDisks | xsd:boolean | Should we write to the source disks. This is the case for MS VHD Disks. This will cause us not to create new disks, and NOT to wrap the VHD disks with deltaDisks.
