Research direction
The issue asks for a sample to add an existing VMDK to a VM. The repository contains other samples; one approach is to look at the 'create vm' or 'add disk' samples. A potential contribution would be to create a new script that uses the `ReconfigVM Task` method to attach a VMDK from a datastore, referencing the pyvmomi documentation on virtual device config. The issue is unassigned and open, so a contributor can pick it up and provide a sample.
