In the system I am creating which uses vCLI and the perl SDK I am simply using ssh with keys to start and run scripts I am going to have in all my templates for pipelines.  Maybe that is a simpler way. I am only doing vmware things with the command line. The rest is Linux and Perl.

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
