SnapshotHostDiskDeviceToContainerInManagedSet
Creates preallocated snapshots (point-in-time copies) of the storage volumes (virtual disks) that
underlie a host disk device, by using containers in a managed set. The snapshot copies are
presented to the enabled host and a host bus scan is performed to identify the presented storage.

SnapshotHostDiskDeviceToContainerInManagedSet ( %hoststorvol_unc_name%, %managed_set_of_containers%,
FULLY_ALLOCATED, NOWAIT )
UNC Host Disk Device Name (%hoststorvol_unc_name%). Select or enter the UNC name of the host
disk device to be copied.
Managed Set Name (%managed_set_of_containers%). Select or enter the name of the managed
set in which the virtual disk container is a member.
