Notes:

For 6.0 please update custom task:

In the task script you will find the below statement.

VMwareAddDiskAPIConstructor.populateVirtualDisk(diskSizeInKB, disk, diskfileBacking, controllerkey, unitNumber, cInfo);

We need to modify it as below.

VMwareAddDiskAPIConstructor.populateVirtualDisk(diskSizeInKB, disk, diskfileBacking, controllerkey, unitNumber, cInfo,null);

Passing an extra null.
