Create Remote Disk
As stated in Support for Managed Disk, VixDiskLib_Create() does not support managed disk. To create a managed disk on the remote ESXi host, first create a hosted disk on the local Workstation, then convert the hosted disk into managed disk with VixDiskLib_Clone() over the network.
To create remote managed disk using the sample program, type the following commands:
./vix-disklib-sample -create -cap

./vix-disklib-sample -clone
virtdisk.vmdk -host esx3i -user root -password secret vmfsdisk.vmdk
