govc/datastore-create-disk

Defines any additional command line options to pass to ansible for playbooks

This param sets the disk to create the datastore defined in the param govc/datastore-create-name. The param can be set to a rule that will search for a disk, or directly to a specific disk.

Supported rules and direct disk definition settings:

• datastore_mappings
• first_available
• disk=t10.ATA_____Micron_M500DC_MTFDDAK120MBB_____________________14260DAD9402

Defaults to datastore_mappings.

The first_available rule attempts to filter out used disk devices, then chooses the first of any remaining disks that are unused.

Note

IF using the govc command, you can find the disk information with the command govc host.esxcli storage core path list (after setting up the appropriate GOVC_ environment variables, of course.).

Warning

Setting this param to first_available, and setting a Param esxi/datastore-mappings type of first_available is not supported and will result in a failure error.
