Add support for AARCH64 virtual machines

[shahwahed]

Hi,

Thanks for the great job you have done on this provider.

I would like to know if it possible to support ARM VM (https://flings.vmware.com/esxi-arm-edition)
When I try to create an ARM VM with vsphere using terraform and a template I have already created for arm on vsphere.

The problem is that on my template I don't have a SCSI disk controler but a SATA one. The resource creation even if you use an template create a full vm and clone only the disk. It could be great to support either SATA disk controler, or an option, to clone the current template as it got already a good configuration for arm VM and just overrider network/cpu/ram.

Thanks a lot

Regards
Shah

This enhancement should only be considered once ESXi for ARM is productized and graduates from Fling status.

Pull request #1629 has been submitted for review which updates the DiskCloneValidateOperation and DiskImportOperation functions in r/virtual_machine_disk_subresource to add support for SATA and IDE controllers and disks (alongside existing SCSI support.)

This will resolve this issue - marked for Milestone v2.2.0.
