How critical is this??

I figure its a 'good to have' but not a blocker for my first stab. There aren't checks for things like network label / folder / datacenter / ect, which we could do, but just aren't at the yet. I figure its a low hanging fruit to call out.

Perhaps create an anonymous function for this and get rid of the code duplication.

@dkalleg Looks very good, had just two comments. 👍 |
User may specify a vmdk in their disk definition. The options size, template, and vmdk are considered to be mutually exclusive. User may also set whether each disk associated with the vm should try to boot after creation. Todo: Enforce mutual exclusivity, validate the bootable_vmdk_path

@chrislovecnm @kristinn @phinze @tkak Made some adjustments to make this a little more versatile/generic. Instead of focusing on just bootable vmdks this is now focusing on mounting any existing vmdk with the option of specifying a disk as |

User may specify a bootable_vmdk_path in their disk definition. This assumes that a bootable vmdk is uploaded to an accessible datastore in vSphere. This does not copy the vmdk prior to starting the vm to preserve state; this, however could be a future enhancement.
