Since you requested a "paper," I have structured this response as a technical white paper. It provides an in-depth analysis of the vmkfstools utility, specifically focusing on the -d (disk format) flag, its underlying technologies, and practical administration strategies.
For example, converting a thin disk to eagerzeroedthick would be:
vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/ my_rdm.vmdk Why Use the Command Line Instead of the GUI?
Beyond creation, vmkfstools allows for the conversion of disk formats post-creation, a task often required when a workload grows in criticality.
vmkfstools -i .vmdk -d eagerzeroedthick .vmdk
