Can't create linked clones

$

Hi All,

 

  I'm trying to clone a vm from a snapshot point and share the disks with the original vm (linked clone).

 

According to the API reference documentation, I'm setting:

 

  * spec.snapshot  to the snapshot mor to get the configuration from

  * location.diskMoveType to "createNewChildDiskBacking"

 

The clone is created from the snapshot point but the disks are fully copied, using the datastore browser I can see the disks sizes for the new are the same than the original.

 

As this functionality is not supported by the vSphere client, I can't get SOAP logs to see how it should be done.

 

Is there any other mandatory parameter I need to set?

What are the restrictions for this functionality to work?

 

I guess that If there's any restriction on my environment the task should fail. Or does it just ignore the location.diskMoveType setting and falls back to the default option?

 

Thanks in advance,
