Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
Required
label	string	Device label.
type	string	Type of host bus adapter to which the device is attached. Defines the valid types of host bus adapters that may be used for attaching a virtual storage device to a virtual machine. Value is one of: IDE: Disk is attached to an IDE adapter. SCSI: Disk is attached to a SCSI adapter. SATA: Disk is attached to a SATA adapter.
ide.primary	boolean	Flag specifying whether the device is attached to the primary or secondary IDE adapter of the virtual machine.
ide.master	boolean	Flag specifying whether the device is the master or slave device on the IDE adapter.
scsi.bus	long	Bus number of the adapter to which the device is attached.
scsi.unit	long	Unit number of the device.
sata.bus	long	Bus number of the adapter to which the device is attached.
sata.unit	long	Unit number of the device.
backing	backing_info	Physical resource backing for the virtual disk.
backing.type	string	Backing type for the virtual disk. Defines the valid backing types for a virtual disk. Value is one of: VMDK_FILE: Virtual disk is backed by a VMDK file.
Optional
ide	ide_address_info	Address of device attached to a virtual IDE adapter. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value IDE. Workaround for PR1459646.
scsi	scsi_address_info	Address of device attached to a virtual SCSI adapter. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value SCSI. Workaround for PR1459646.
