Python API: samAdmin v8_1_5
samAdmin.addDataDisk()

Just having some fun...
This is the python interface to the command 'samadmin add data disk'.
Command Description:

Add a new non-station-cache disk to the database.

Once the physical disk has been added, locations on that disk may
be registered in the SAM database as valid locations for files.

Example:

   # add the physical data disk
   samadmin add data disk --mountPoint=my.node.domain:/mounted/here --size=10g

   # register my.node.domain:/mounted/here/files/go/here as a valid SAM location
   samadmin add disk location --mountPoint=my.node.domain:/mounted/here --relativePath=files/go/here


Python Usage:
	from SamAdmin import samAdmin
	result = samAdmin.addDataDisk(...)

Return value: 

Arguments are passed as keyword-value pairs, as in:
	 myfunc(arg1='myarg', arg2='anotherarg', d=1)

Argument Keyword Description:
	(*) indicates that this keyword is required
	>>> indicates that either the API object or the CLI equivalent (<<<) is required
