Host Nvdimm System Create Nvdimm Namespace Task

Host Nvdimm System Create Nvdimm Namespace Task

Deprecated as of vSphere 6.7u1, use createPMemNamespace Create nvd namespace from information passed in NamespaceCreationSpec.

A new block or persistent namespace can be created on the NVDIMM(s) when the system is in maintenance mode.

If all the parameters passed are valid and system is in maintenance mode, then a DSM (Device Specific Method) call is made to create the namespace. DSM calls are blockable and slow operations and hence the use of task.

If a new namespace is created, its UUID is returned.

Required privileges: Host.Config.Nvdimm
