System Center Orchestrator: "Modify VM Disk" activity from the VMware vSphere IP

Question

Hello,

I am trying to implement an automatic disk increase for a VMware machine using a SCORCH runbook; one of the activities from the VMware vSphere integration pack looks like could do the job: "Modify VM Disk". Unfortunately, there is a required field named "SCSI Unit Key" in the properties of the activity that I couldn't find information about and don't know what should contain or where to get that information from.

If you used this activity, I would appreciate some hints.

Thank you!

Hi,

To find the SCSI Unit Key for a virtual disk in VMware vSphere, follow these steps:

1. Open the vSphere Client and navigate to the virtual machine.
2. Select the VM and go to the "Edit Settings" option.
3. In the "Virtual Hardware" tab, locate the virtual disk you want to modify.
4. The SCSI ID (which includes the SCSI Unit Key) will be displayed in the "Virtual Device Node" section.
