Host V Flash Manager Configure V Flash Resource Ex Task

Configure vFlash resource on a list of SSD disks.

If the host does not have a VFFS volume, host will format the volume first and then extend the volume on the rest of the SSDs; otherwise host will extend the existing VFFS volume on the passed SSDs. Finally host will configure the vFlash resource on the VFFS volume.

It will return HostVFlashResourceConfigurationResult describing success or failure associated with each device.

Required privileges: Host.Config.Storage
