Description:

def vm_attach(name, kwargs=None, call=None):
    '''
    Attaches a new disk to the given virtual machine.

    .. versionadded:: 2016.3.0

    name
        The name of the VM for which to attach the new disk.

    path
        The path to a file containing a single disk vector attribute.
        Syntax within the file can be the usual attribute=value or XML.
        Can be used instead of ``data``.

    data
        Contains the data needed to attach a single disk vector attribute.
        Syntax can be the usual attribute=value or XML. Can be used instead
        of ``path``.

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt-cloud -a vm_attach my-vm path=/path/to/disk_file.txt
        salt-cloud -a vm_attach my-vm data="DISK=[DISK_ID=1]"
