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
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId, in this case HostNvdimmSystem/{moId}.
