Document default FC and disk assignment workflow for ATVM VMs

Browse Source 
Update the VMware runbook to describe the default VM attachment workflow for assigning FC passthrough adapters vmhba7 and vmhba8 plus datastore disks atvm-DISK_1.vmdk and atvm-DISK_2.vmdk, with mandatory live verification, pre-action summary, explicit approval, and no-substitution behavior unless the operator specifies alternatives.

## VM Disk And FC Assignment Workflow
- When asked to assign existing disks and PCI passthrough FC adapters to a specified VM, treat the request as a two-step workflow:
- first gather and report findings,
- then wait for explicit approval before making any changes.
- Always log into vCenter `192.168.0.201`.
- Find the specified VM and verify the ESXi host it is currently running on.
- Default expected ESXi host is `192.168.1.165`, but always verify the live host before planning changes.
- Always identify and report the datastore where the VM is stored before planning disk attachment.
- Unless the operator explicitly specifies alternatives, default to these PCI passthrough FC adapters:
- `vmhba7` (`0000:85:00.0`)
- `vmhba8` (`0000:85:00.1`)
- Do not substitute any other PCI FC passthrough adapters if either default or operator-specified adapter cannot be found.
- Unless the operator explicitly specifies alternatives, default to these existing disks from the VM's datastore under the `atvm-DISKS` directory:
- `atvm-DISK_1.vmdk`
- `atvm-DISK_2.vmdk`
- Do not substitute any other disks if either default or operator-specified disk cannot be found.
- If the specified adapters or specified disks cannot be found, do nothing and report that nothing will be assigned.
- Before any assignment action, always provide a summary of:
- the VM found,
- the ESXi host,
- the datastore,
- whether `vmhba7` and `vmhba8` were found and are usable,
- whether `atvm-DISK_1.vmdk` and `atvm-DISK_2.vmdk` were found under `atvm-DISKS`,
- exactly what would be assigned.
- Never perform the assignment step until the operator explicitly approves after seeing that summary.
