Performing thin-provisioning operations on virtual disk images using native features of the storage domain

A virtual disk image manager running on a computing device determines that an operation is to be performed on a virtual disk image. The virtual disk image manager then determines whether an underlying storage domain on which the virtual disk image is stored supports the operation. In response to det...

Zusammenfassung:	A virtual disk image manager running on a computing device determines that an operation is to be performed on a virtual disk image. The virtual disk image manager then determines whether an underlying storage domain on which the virtual disk image is stored supports the operation. In response to determining that the storage domain supports the operation, the virtual disk image manager uses native capabilities of the storage domain to perform the operation. In response to determining that the storage domain does not support the operation, the virtual disk image manager performs the operation without the use of the storage domains native capabilities.
