Virtual Disk Manager Import Unmanaged Snapshot
Import an unmanaged-snapshot from Virtual-Volume(VVol) enabled Storage Array.
Storage Array may support users to take snapshots indepedent of VMware stack. Such copies or snapshots are known as 'Unmanaged-Snapshots'. We are providing an ability to end-users to import such unmanaged-snapshots as Virtual Disks.
End-user needs to know the VVol-Identifier to import unmanaged snapshot as VirtualDisk.
Once VirtualDisk is created, user can use 'Datastore Browser' to use with rest of Virtual Machine provisioning APIs.
Required privileges: System.View
