fail to add nvdimm device

[yluinca]

Hello, I'm able to add a nvdimm device via vcenter GUI, and I captured the code. However, when I tried to program it (similar to the captured code) to add the nvdimm device, I got error InvalidDeviceSpec error. Any idea? Appreciate any help here.

pyVmomi.VmomiSupport.InvalidDeviceSpec: (vim.fault.InvalidDeviceSpec) { dynamicType = , dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], msg = "Invalid configuration for device '0'.", faultCause = , faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [ (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) { dynamicType = , dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], key = 'com.vmware.vim.vpxd.vmprov.invalidNVDIMMPolicy', arg = (vmodl.KeyAnyValue) [], message = 'com.vmware.vim.vpxd.vmprov.invalidNVDIMMPolicy' }, (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) { dynamicType = , dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], key = 'com.vmware.vim.vpxd.vpx.vmprov.DeviceStr', arg = (vmodl.KeyAnyValue) [ (vmodl.KeyAnyValue) { dynamicType = , dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], key = 'deviceStr', value = 'New NVDIMM' } ], message = 'Device: New NVDIMM.' } ], property = '', deviceIndex = 0 }

Captured code from vcenter for adding a 10G nvdimm device:
