Hi, everyone. It's me again.

Previously I learned that the vmkfstools command can get information about the mapping blocks of virtual disks on physical LUNs, and in recent days when I was using veeam to do backups, I found such a file: *****_mapping.xml, which was deleted after the backups were completed, so I found a chance to download him, which really surprised me, and in the following days, I tried to analyze the structure of the file content, and found that he was the same as the data block area obtained using vmkfstools! It just contains a bit more comprehensive information, I guess there should indeed exist some interface to get the relevant data structure.

So I found the following article:API HostDiskManager Endpoint / AcquireLeaseExt - VMware Technology Network VMTN

Now I have the same doubt as the author? I would like to discuss how the SOAP request in the article should be called?

PS: The documentation appendix on mapping is below, so I won't post it here.
