I am trying to call the Vsphere Api (6.5.0) CreateVmfsDatastore method in javascript in order to Add a Datastoreand am getting an Invalid request with the following error:

I am passing the following json to the method of which the spec property has been returned from calling the QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions method:

"volumeName": "test",

}
Any ideas why it can't deserialise a number or what the problem could be?
Cheers
