VirtualDiskName: Name of the virtual disk (1-15 character range)
StartingLBA: Starting logical block address of virtual disks in blocks. If
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, starting LBA is calculated programmatically.
The value can be in hexadecimal or decimal format.

EXAMPLE:
wsman invoke -a CreateVirtualDisk
http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cimschema/
2/root/dcim/DCIM_RAIDService
?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem,
CreationClassName=DCIM_RAIDService,SystemName=DCIM:ComputerSystem,
Name=DCIM:RAIDService -h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD
-J CreateSlicedVirtualDisk.xml -j utf-8 -y basic
The input file CreateSlicedVirtualDisk.xml is shown below:

<p:VDPropValueArray>virtualdiskname</p:VDPropValueArray>
<p:VDPropValueArray>0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF</p:VDPropValueArray>
</p:CreateVirtualDisk_INPUT>
OUTPUT:
The instanceID output identifies this virtual disk in the inventory before and after the
CreateTargetedConfigJob() method creates it. However, the instanceID changes after
successful creation.
