Description

Hi,

What is the proper way to resignature an unresolved volume so that the volume will be auto-mounted across all hosts that the volume is mapped to (the same way like resignaturing using the vsphere client)?
I'm currently using host.configManager.datastoreSystem.ResignatureUnresolvedVmfsVolume(), but when, for example, I map a volume to 2 hosts and then run this method on one of them, then at the other host the volume is still recognized as "unresolved".

At the method documentation it's written - "Users can specify a list of hosts on which the volume will be auto-mounted.", So... how do I specify this list of hosts? :)

Thanks.

Research direction

Start with host.configManager.datastoreSystem.ResignatureUnresolvedVmfsVolume() and its method documentation; compare it with the vSphere Client workflow and the two-host unresolved-volume scenario. Done would require documenting how to specify hosts or clarifying the API behavior.
