Snapshot copy support on VMDKs

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 Virtual Storage Console mounted datastores.
You cannot create a Snapshot copy on a VMDK that contains VMware snapshots.
If you try to create a Snapshot copy using SnapDrive when a VMware snapshot exists, SnapDrive displays an error indicating that backup creation has failed, and Snapshot copy mount and restore operations cannot occur.

Note: SnapDrive does not support VMDKs on NFS and VMFS datastores for Cluster-Mode.
