Virtual Disk Does Not Cache to Local Hard Disk

When using Provisioning Services with a Windows XP image, despite setting the vDisk to cache to local hard disk, it continues to cache to server.


Background
This issue could be because of the type of disk used on the image. To use a local disk cache on a virtual machine, it must have the storage attached, available, formatted as NTFS, and must be a basic disk.
Resolution
Ensure that the vDisk is in basic mode and formatted as NTFS.


When the disk is in basic mode and formatted as NTFS, it can cache correctly.
