VMware soap interface question

I am running a single esxi host with a few guests(scientific linux 6) I am initially creating a batch interface which will react to a fresh delivery of HIPAA data.

I have just about all I need to start the three main scripts. These are on top of the vCLI. What I am missing is the ability to dynamically add and remove

a virtual disk with a running guest. Under the apps they support is one in the vm folder called vcreatedisk.pl which creates a disk and then reconfigures the guest to see

it. I am thinking if I can find the SOAP protocol they have implemented that I can add and then remove an existing virtual disk. But I need to see what data

I need to send and what the disk spec would look like for these two operations. Any help would be great.  Bill

I finally found William Lam's repository of scripts in github and the vmdkManagement.pl had exactly the SOAP interface I needed to dynamically add and remove virtual disks

from a running host via a SOAP reconfig.
