Re: Create VMDK via RDM to iSCSI target using SOAP API

Thank you very much for your help. I am trying to adapt my code to resemble yours in the hope of being able to do this, but in the vSphere client, I see this error: Invalid configuration for device '1'. This is the code I am using (PHP):

$folders = $vhost->findAllManagedObjects('Folder', array());

  //print_r($folders[0]);

  $controller = new stdClass();

  $controller->device = new stdClass();

  $controller->device->type = "VirtualLsiLogicController";

  $controller->device->busNumber = 12;

  $controller->device->key = -2;

  $controller->operation = "add";

  $deviceChange = new stdClass();

  $device = new stdClass();

  $config = new stdClass();

  $backing = new stdClass();

  $files = new stdClass();

  $config->name = 'APITestVM';

  $config->memoryMB = 2048;

  $config->deviceChange = array($controller, $deviceChange);

  $config->key = '';

  $config->files = $files;

  $files->vmPathName = "[test]";

  $deviceChange->device = $device;

  $deviceChange->fileOperation = 'replace';

  $deviceChange->operation = 'add';

  $device->backing = $backing;

  $device->key = -102;

  $device->busNumber = 12;

  //$device->unitNumber = 1;

  $device->controllerKey = -2;

  $backing->compatibilityMode = 'virtualMode';

  $backing->deviceName = 'vmhba37';

  $backing->lunUuid = '01000000006234396630366330303735383361636564323465383638613836396534333331564952545541';

  $folders[0]->CreateVM_Task(array(

  'config' => $config,

  'pool' => array("_" => "ha-root-pool", "type" => "ResourcePool")

  ));

Can you please take a look and see if anything sticks out to you as being incorrect? Thanks again.
