Hello everyone !
I have a datacenter and a vCenter controlling this datacenter. What I want is to create a script which automatically creates a certain number of VMs on the datacenter.
One of the first steps I do in the script is create a disk image using vmkfstools. However, I run into the following error:
$ vmkfstools --server IPADDRESS --username USER --password PASS -c 20G --vihost HOST '[DATASTORE] ello.vmdk'
Unable to create virtual disk with specified parameters.
Hey is the full output when running the above command with a --verbose option: http://pastebin.com/djtVWWYs
The interesting line (according to me) is near the end: The requested operation is not implemented by the server.
I searched for this error on the net (for example Is CreateVirtualDisk_Task supported in vim25 ?), but it didn't help a lot.
Here are some additional details:
I'm running this command from a vMA 4.1 against a vCenter 4.1
If you need more info please tell me.
Thanks.
