I am adding a virtual disk to a SCSI controller with either physical or virtual bus sharing, which is getting failed for the below code. Same code gets successful if bus sharing is "noSharing".
$vmView = Vim::find_entity_view(view_type=>'VirtualMachine',filter=>{name=>$vms[0]});
$controllerKey = find_scsi_cntlrkey(vm=>$vmView,controller=>$cntlr);
my %hash = (
vm=>$vmView,
diskMode=>"persistent",
fileName=>$filename,
controllerKey=>$controllerKey,
unitNumber=>$target,
size=>"5242880",
backingtype=>"regular",
uuid =>undef,
deviceName=>undef,
);
my $filespec = get_vdiskSpec(%hash);
print Dumper $filespec;
my $vdisk = add_virtualdisk(vm=>$vmView,devspec=>$filespec);
Command execution:
amrut@2:~/scripts/vmware/apps$ perl RDM_add.pl --vmname vm1 --server vcenter_server --username administrator@vsphere.local --password Pass@123 --operation add --controller 2:2 --filename vm_232

In vcenter GUi I am getting below error:
Failed to power on scsi2:2.
Failed to add disk scsi2:2.
But Getting successful if bus sharing is none!

Virtual Disk created.

Can some one please let me know, do we need to pass any other parameter for adding disk to SCSIController with bus sharing physical/virtual ?
Thanks
