SnapDrive VMDK support limitations

SnapDrive has some limitations of which you should be aware before using SnapDrive to perform Snapshot copy operations on VMDKs.

The following VMDK limitations exist:

VMDKs must not be created on SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure mounted datastores.
Snapshot copy operations cannot be performed on VMDKs when VMware snapshots exist on a virtual machine.
If you try to create Snapshot copy using SnapDrive when a VMware snapshot exists, SnapDrive will give you an error indicating that backup creation has failed, and Snapshot copy mount and restore operations cannot occur.
