Host Vsan System Initialize Disks Task

Host Vsan System Initialize Disks Task

Initialize and use the sets of disks in the given VsanHostDiskMapping list for the VSAN service on this host.

Users may use this API to specify or change disk mappings when the VSAN service is not configured to automatically claim storage. For appending new non-SSDs to an existing VsanHostDiskMapping, users need to specify only the new non-SSDs with its ssd.

Mount a VsanHostDiskMapping if the specified VsanHostDiskMapping is not mounted in this host.

Upon successful completion of the returned Task, its result field will be populated with a VsanHostDiskMapResult[] and caller must inspect VsanHostDiskMapResult[] to check result for individual VsanHostDiskMapping.
