Mappings

snapshot virtual disk and the host that accesses the snapshot virtual disk.
NOTE: In some cases, conflicts might result from mapping the same host to
both a source virtual disk and its associated snapshot virtual disk. This
conflict depends on the host operating system and any virtual disk manager
software in use.

To register the snapshot virtual disk with the host operating system, run
the host-based hot_add utility.

To associate the mapping between the storage array name and the virtual

those instructions in your operating system documentation.
