IF I recall this correctly, which I think I do, that value is only available on vSphere based ProvSchemes, when I was working through this, all other ProvSchemes left that value as $null

This is from Studio, where the VDAs are provisioned via MCS.

Is that a VMware catalog?

Yep.

Dammit I was hoping they’d fixed other platforms - everyone else seems to pull $null

Think of all the man power Citrix needs to assign, for this info to be available, for all platforms 🙂

I didn't realize Nutanix only used full clones - good to know. Have a lot of old images to clean up. Funny that it's listed on the vmware catalog, but I can't find it on the catalogs properties in powershell. I think we have a vmware catalog in dev I can check.

@langsbr check the provscheme rather than the catalog

I see a setting in the provscheme called UseFullDiskCloneProvisioning. I suspect that might be the VM copy mode, but it says False. That being said, if Nutanix only does full copies, that means that I can delete any persistent VM gold images as all VMs spawned from it are standalone and have no dependency on it, right?

Well at least it says false now, it used to be blank, they must have fixed it after I moaned 🙂

Yep full clone and throw away disk on shutdown and boot for MCS non persistent

What about persistent? That's what I was concerned about here

It’s the same except not marked for deletion
