Vim Cluster Vsan Vc Disk Management System Initialize Disk Mappings

Vim Cluster Vsan Vc Disk Management System Initialize Disk Mappings

This API is used to create new vSAN disk groups or attach more disks into existing vSAN disk group on specified host.

It deprecates APIs AddDisks_Task and InitializeDisks_Task, to support creating both hybrid and all flash disk group. Scsi disks eligible for vSAN service, could be retrieved through API QueryDisksForVsan. If the "creationType" of the given spec is set to "vsandirect", then it will create vSAN direct datastores on each specified SSD and HDD.
