Hello Experts,
I use BMC Atrium Orchestrator to automate adding an hard disk to a VM.
The VCenter Version is 5.1.0
A simple webservices call is issued to the VCenter to add the hard disk, most of the times it has succeeded but recently there is a failure with error message,
"Unable to configure virtual device scsi 0:7 whose type is scsi-hardDisk. This virtual device is assigned a SCSI ID which is reserved for the virtual SCSI adapter. Move the virtual device to an unused SCSI ID and try again"
I understand that the scsi id 0:7 is reserved by HBA so has to be skipped , but in this case the web service call does not have an option on specifying the SCSI ID. That bit is left to the VC to assign.
As some testing, I tried do do all this manually from the VCenter Client , and there I see that the SCSI 0:7 does not appear in the list at all, which seems to be correct.
I looked at the vpxd.log and it has no useful information, I just see the system receive the web service call (I can see the login) and then the error after a few millisecs.
So the VCenter knows that SCSI X:7 has to be skipped but seems like that the same does not happen when using a webservice call.
I have attached the log snippets of the call as well as response and the VC screenshot as well
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.
