vCLI Passthroughauth with Virtual Center to VM-Host

$

Hello,

 

i want to use the vCli vmkfstools with passthroughauth option to create/cline vmdk-files, but i get an error "Unable to create virtual disk with specified parameters.".

The vcenter and the esxi-hosts are full licensed.

 

I get this error only for "writing"-tasks like creating (-c), cloning (-i) or deleting (-U) disks.

When i use the option -P to print file system information, i get no error and the command works.

Also when i authenticate with username and password directly to the esxi-host i get no errors and can use all functions of vmkfstools.

 

I run the following command:

vmkfstools --server vc.domain.local --vihost vm.domain.local --passthroughauth -c 1G /vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE/test.vmdk

whith the following result:

Attempting to create virtual disk [DATASTORE] g.vmdk
Unable to create virtual disk with specified parameters.

 

I run the same command with --verbose option and get the following SOAP messages (excerpt):

Unable to create virtual disk with specified parameters.


What is the "dc" property?

 

Thank you for your answers.
