If needed, assign host-to-virtual disk mapping between the snapshot
virtual disk and the host operating system that accesses it.

manager software in use, the software prevents you from mapping the same
host to both a source virtual disk and its associated snapshot virtual disk.

hot_add

the snapshot virtual disk with the host operating system.
