[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-10281) vSphere VM disks do not honor the Service Offering Provisioning Type selected

Alex Wheeler created CLOUDSTACK-10281:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: vSphere VM disks do not honor the Service Offering Provisioning Type selected
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-10281
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10281
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Template, VMware
    Affects Versions: 4.10.0.0
            Reporter: Alex Wheeler


Regardless of the Provisioning Type selected (Fat, Sparse, Thin), all instantiated vSphere VM disks are thin when the storage supports thin.

Doing a little sleuthing, it turns out that the creation of data disks is easily fixed in *VmwareStorageProcessor.java*

However, the root disk is always created as a clone with the same disk type as the template, which being ova is always thin.  The vSphere API seems to allow specifying the disk type during clone, and we've taken a stab at that, but so far to no avail.

Hoping someone can shed some light on this.  Code samples forthcoming.
