Storage resize converterStorageParams.resizeRatio is ignored

Hi,

I am trying to use the parameters resizeRatio and minVolumeSize to increase the size of the virtual disks during the conversion process.

http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/converter-sdk/conv50_apireference/converter.params.StorageParams.html

They are in the object converterStorageParams.

But these parameters are ignored all the time. I do not know why. They appear in the vmware-converter-worker.log so they are submitted correctly. But the storage is not resized. In the storagemapping section resize is always on false.

The manual says:

Specifies the virtual volume resize ratio.  If a non-zero value is set and volumesToClone is unset,  all virtual volumes will be resized to  min(volume capacity,      max(minVolumeSize, volume used space * (1 + resizeRatio / 100)))

volumesToClone is not set as you see below.

I am using Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 VMs with NTFS on the VMDKs.

Does anyone managed to get the resizeRatio working?

My code:

private ConverterCloningParams
        BuildCloningParams()
        {
            ConverterCloningParams cloningParams = new ConverterCloningParams(

            ConverterTargetVmSpec targetVMSpec = new ConverterTargetVmSpec();
            targetVMSpec.name = _vcVMToCreate;
            targetVMSpec.location = BuildTargetVMLocation();
            targetVMSpec.productVersion = "PRODUCT_MANAGED";

            cloningParams.target = targetVMSpec;

            ConverterStorageParams converterStorageParams = new ConverterStorageParams();
            converterStorageParams.cloningMode = "volumeBasedCloning";
            converterStorageParams.vmxDatastoreName = _destdatastore;
            converterStorageParams.diskControllerType = "keepSource";
            converterStorageParams.optimizedPartitionAlignment = true;
            converterStorageParams.optimizedPartitionAlignmentSpecified = true;
         
           converterStorageParams.resizeRatio = 30;
            converterStorageParams.resizeRatioSpecified = true;
            converterStorageParams.minVolumeSize = 38162185216;
            converterStorageParams.minVolumeSizeSpecified = true;
          
            cloningParams.storageParams = converterStorageParams;
            ConverterBasicHardwareParams hardwareParams = new ConverterBasicHardwareParams();

            ConverterNetworkParams networkParams = new ConverterNetworkParams();
            networkParams.preserveNicCount = true;
            networkParams.preserveNicCountSpecified = true;
            networkParams.preserveNicMapping = true;
            networkParams.preserveNicMappingSpecified = true;
            cloningParams.networkParams = networkParams;

            cloningParams.basicHardwareParams = hardwareParams;
           

            return cloningParams;
        }
