Due to large datastore size(10TB) in case of particular box, the API CreateVmfsDatastore gives timeout, even though the datastore is created.

I am invoking Vmware perl API CreateVmfsDatastore and creating a datastore of 10 TB. But due to large datastore size(10TB) in case of particular box, the API CreateVmfsDatastore gives timeout, even though the datastore is created.

I am getting following error -

SOAP request error - possibly a protocol issue: SSL read timeout:  at /usr/share/perl/5.14/perl5db.pl line 3737.

Is there any way to increase the timeout?
