VSS Snapshots Fail with the Message: "No Volume Connected to the Host”
Snapshots taken of a VMware Virtual Volume (VVol) using Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) fail if the VVol does not have its array serial number registered on the workstation. The error message "No volume connected to the host” is displayed.
This error occurs when you import a virtual machine (VM) containing the VVols to a new vCenter workstation. The registration information does not get added to the new workstation. You must manually add it.
