The issue is when the instance uses an IDE controller.

IDE controller does not support hot adding of a virtual disk http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1025883

However if an IDE controller is not being used for the primary disk of the virtual machine then the issue must not arise.

One possible fix would be to use a SCSI controller (one of http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc%2Fvim.vm.device.VirtualSCSIController.html) for volume's disk irrespective of primary disk's controller.
