Trying to add a disk to a vm and attaching it to existing SCSI Controller with specific SCSI ID

[cmichals]

I am trying to add a disk to a vm which I need it to go to an existing SCSI Controller but I need to assign a specific SCSI ID

For example  Add Hard disk to SCSI controller 2 but I need to SCSI ID to be 2:5

I can get the new Hard Disk to go to SCSI Controller 2 but it just takes the next available SCSI ID

You can change the HD unitnumber with the ReconfigVM method.
See for example Re: Automate add Windows Hard Disk - VMware Technology Network VMTN
