Example: Create a new virtual disk drive

This example demonstrates how to create a new virtual disk drive for a virtual machine and assign it a VHD.

For more information about how to get started with using the code examples provided in this programming guide, see Program in Visual Studio with the Windows Azure Pack IaaS Resource Provider [SPFSDK].

Guid stampId = new Guid("56ebc6dc-f63c-46e2-8438-2967e0ad83bc");
Guid vmId = new Guid("ee9fb3ed-c2f1-4ed5-9597-0a30c69d17f8");
Guid vhdId = new Guid("e0a82263-9c74-459e-9a46-17c7d2d54cc3");

var disk = new SpfVMM.VirtualDiskDrive();

disk.StampId = stampId;
disk.Name = "Data Disk 1";
disk.FileName = "DataDisk1";
disk.IDE = true;
disk.Bus = 0;
disk.LUN = 1;
disk.VirtualHardDiskId = vhdId;
disk.VMId = vmId;

vmmService.AddToVirtualDiskDrives(disk);
vmmService.SaveChanges();
