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);
