ASF subversion and git services commented on VCL-724:
-----------------------------------------------------
Commit 1626057 from [~arkurth] in branch 'vcl/trunk'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1626057 ]
VCL-685
Updated VIM_SSH.pm::_services_restart and _check_service_pid. Occasionally '1'
was returned as the PID of a service and the code had been writing this to the
.pid file. This caused problems. Added a check for a valid value. Added
additional services to check.
Updated VMware.pm::is_vm_registered to accept datastore formatted paths.
Updated VMware.pm::delete_vm to remove the VM's parent directory if it was
named after the VM.
Added VIM_SSH.pm::vm_suspend for a script I wrote to migrate VMs. This
subroutine may be used at some point in the future.
Updated VMware.pm::get_datastore_info to strip away the leading 'ds://' in the
vmdk's URL if it was present. This allows paths containing the URL to be used.
Updated vSphere_SDK.pm::copy_virtual_disk to delete the source VM it creates
during a cloning operation if the clone fails.
VCL-724
Added VMware.pm::check_multiextent and vSphere_SDK.pm::is_multiextent_disabled.
These are called by the copy/move_vmdk subroutines to detect if a 2gbsparse
vmdk operation fails because multiextent is not enabled on the host.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-724
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Reporter: Andy Kurth
> Priority: Minor
>
> VMware does not support 2GB sparse vmdk's as of ESXi 4.x:
> http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1028042
> This format has been used so that images could be transferred to/from
> different management nodes via SCP without the possibillity of having to
> transfer the entire size of the virtual disk, but only the amount of space
> used.
