VMX file with SATA disk none

Description Pino Toscano 2020-09-30 09:36:00 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1883588 +++

Description of problem:

When migrating a VMware VM that uses SATA bus for disks, virt-v2v doesn't detect the disk and the migration fails. The log file says that the VM "has no non-removable disks".

------

This is to track the work to make -i vmx in virt-v2v able to parse SATA disks:
