I'm trying to use the vmware_guest_disk module (Ansible v2.8.2) to add a disk to a VM but am getting an error.

This is the relevant section of my playbook:

    - name: Add a Disk VM
      vmware_guest_disk:
        hostname: "{{ vc_hostname }}"
        username: "{{ vmware_user }}@{{ vmware_user_domain }}"
        password: "{{ vmware_password }}"
        validate_certs: False
        datacenter: "{{ dc_name }}"
        name: "{{ vm_name }}"
        folder: "{{ folder_name }}"
        disk:
          - size_gb: 1
            type: eagerzeroedthick
            state: present
            autoselect_datastore: true
            scsi_controller: 0
            unit_number: 2
            scsi_type: 'lsilogicsas'
      delegate_to: localhost

The result I get is:

TASK [Add a Disk VM] ***********************************************************
Monday 09 September 2019  15:53:58 +0100 (0:00:00.076)       0:00:04.477 ****** 
fatal: [webtest2k8 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to manage disks for virtual machine 'webtest2k8' with exception : (\"Invalid configuration for device '0'.\", None)"}

There are already disks on SCSI 0:0 and 0:1, using an LSI Logic SAS controller. I've tried various other options but with no change.
