This is the very simple code that fails over and over again and I don't know
how to fix it:
format='vdi'
diskImagePath='/home/user/test.vdi'
size=10000000
hdd = self.vboxMgr.vbox.createHardDisk(format, diskImagePath)
try:
progress = hdd.createBaseStorage(size,
(self.vboxMgr.constants.
MediumVariant_Standard,))
...
This code throws an exception and tells me error code VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER as
mentioned above. Any idea how to fix this?
It fails in createBaseStorage().
Thanks!

Provide the part of your code that fails please, else it's a bit hard to give
you pointers.
