Volume Snapshot in VMware

Hello Guys, 

We do have a feature in CloudStack to take a volume snapshot, it means it will take the copy of the disk and put into the secondary storage. But when we have VMware as hypervisor and when we do take volume snapshot it clone the entire VM and put into the secondary storage.

So if I have 4-5 disks in a VM and if go to the particular disk and take volume snapshot, it clone the entire VM including all the disks and put into the secondary storage. Isn’t it consider only particular disk instead of all disks.


Regards,
Vivek Kumar
