I installed some earlier versions of VDDK and now it seems happy:

Going by the code in this repo it seemed to support 8.0.0...

Hey @mwlfxag ! Najdorf uses version 1.2.0 of ffi-vix_disk_lib https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/blob/najdorf/Gemfile.lock.release#L588 which does not support version 8 of the vddk. This support was added in ffi-vix_disk_lib v1.3.0 https://github.com/ManageIQ/ffi-vix_disk_lib/releases/tag/v1.3.0 vSphere 8 will be supported in the upcoming petrosian release which pulls in ffix-vix_disk_lib 1.3 and rbvmomi2 3.5 (https://github.com/ManageIQ/rbvmomi2/releases/tag/v3.5.0)

Based on 1.2.0 it looks like the newest vddk version supported is v7.0.1. I do think we should have a better warning if we discover unsupported vddk versions installed I'll open an enhancement issue for that work
