Field Detail

thin

public static final DiskProvisioningType thin

A thin provisioned virtual disk has space allocated and zeroed on demand as the space is used.

thick

public static final DiskProvisioningType thick

A thick provisioned virtual disk has all space allocated at creation time and the space is zeroed on demand as the space is used.

eagerZeroedThick

public static final DiskProvisioningType eagerZeroedThick

An eager zeroed thick provisioned virtual disk has all space allocated and wiped clean of any previous contents on the physical media at creation time.

Disks specified as eager zeroed thick may take longer time to create than disks specified with the other disk provisioning types.

Method Detail

values

public static DiskProvisioningType[] values()

Retrieve all enumeration constants pre-defined by this enumeration class.

Additional instances might exist at runtime, for example to represent a new constant added to this enumeration class in subsequent version of the API. Such new constant is represented as instance of DiskProvisioningType but is not pre-defined.

Returns:

Array of all pre-defined enumeration constants. Never null.

valueOf

public static DiskProvisioningType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enumeration constant for the specified name.

If the name matches exactly the identifier used to declare an enumeration constant from this enumeration class, the constant in question will be returned.

Otherwise, a new instance of DiskProvisioningType will be returned for the specified name, which will not be one of the pre-defined constant instances. Such new instance maps to the DiskProvisioningType.Values._UNKNOWN enum constant from the native Java enum.

Parameters:

name - The name of the constant to return. Must not be null.

Returns:

Enumeration constant for the specified name. Never null.

isUnknown

public boolean isUnknown()

Checks if this enumeration constant is unknown. Unknown is a constant that is not one of the pre-defined ones for this enumeration class. Also see valueOf(java.lang.String) and values().

Returns:

true if this constant is unknown, and false otherwise.

getEnumValue

public DiskProvisioningType.Values getEnumValue()

Returns a native Java enum constant representing this enumeration constant. The result is useful for usual handling of Java enum, for example it can be used in switch statements.

If this enumeration constant is unknown, then DiskProvisioningType.Values._UNKNOWN enum constant is returned.

The native Java enum is DiskProvisioningType.Values.

Returns:

The Java enum constant. Never null.
