A storage administrator has mounted a snapshot of an existing datastore to the ESXi server and decided to keep its existing signature. What action is prevented by keeping the existing signature?
By keeping the existing signature of a mounted datastore snapshot, the action that is prevented is increasing the datastore size. This is because the datastore treats the snapshot as an identical copy, meaning any changes such as increasing storage space would conflict with the properties of the original datastore.
