Some operations are not supported:
- For VixDiskLib_Connect() to open a managed disk connection, you must provide valid vSphere access credentials. On ESXi hosts, VixDiskLib_Open() cannot open a single link in a disk chain.
- For VixDiskLib_Create() to create a managed disk on an ESXi host, first create a hosted type disk, then use VixDiskLib_Clone() to convert the hosted virtual disk to managed virtual disk.
- VixDiskLib_Defragment() can defragment hosted disks only.
- VixDiskLib_Grow() can grow hosted disks only.
- VixDiskLib_Unlink() can delete hosted disks only.
- Until ESXi 5.1, the HotAdd transport was available only with vSphere Enterprise Edition and higher.
