 The VM host profile Virtual Disk Mode parameter is set to dedicated.  This indicates to the load process that the VM host's Virtual Disk Path is dedicated to the VM host and not shared by other VM hosts.

 Note that the VM host profile Repository Path parameter is set to the path on the management node's hard drive.  The code first checks if the path exists on the VM host.  If not, it assumes the repository is not mounted directly on the VM host and the Repository Path value refers to a location on the management node.
