VMware vSphere • Change replica VM disk target type

Hi Everyone,

In a replica job, would anyone know how to change the disk type target from the default (thin)? Looking to change the default to “Thick Eagerzero”, or “Source”.

I see that you can change individual VM disk types under Pick a Datastore, however, because I’m using tags for VM population, the option to change the disk type for tags is not available.

I stumbled across this post:
powershell-f26/example-replica-vm-disk- ... 23725.html

I tried following the instructions in applying this logic to my multi-tag job, but I’m having no success. I’m getting stuck at the following because TargetDatastoreName and DiskDestination don’t exist:

$SelectedObjectInfo.ExtendedOptions.TargetOptions.TargetDatastoreName = $ds.Name
$SelectedObjectInfo.ExtendedOptions.TargetOptions.DiskDestination[0].TargetDatastoreName = $ds.Name

I suspect these options are not available in the newer releases of VBR? I’m currently using v12.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
