[jira] [Created] (VCL-633) Change of vmprofile.vmdisk value can cause image capture to fail due to insufficient space

Andy Kurth created VCL-633:
------------------------------

             Summary: Change of vmprofile.vmdisk value can cause image capture to fail due to insufficient space
                 Key: VCL-633
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-633
             Project: VCL
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andy Kurth


The possible values of vmprofile.vmdisk were changed in 2.3 from local/network to dedicated/shared.  Code in VMware.pm and vbox.pm is checking only for "local" when an image is captured in order to determine whether or not to save a copy in both the datastore path and repository or only the repository.

It is assumed that a VM host's local disk is used if vmdisk is local/dedicated and this disk may not have much capacity.  A copy is not saved to the datastore path if vmdisk is local/dedicated, the repository path is set, and mounted on the VM host in order to prevent space issues.

When the DB values changed with 2.3, the code was not updated to check for "dedicated".  As a result, if the profile is set to "dedicated" a copy of the vmdk is being saved to the datastore path.

All lines which check the value of vmprofile.vmdisk need to be updated to reflect the new values.
