[RFE] Ability to back VM clones/snapshots by HW snapshots

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

This request is about the ability to use the snapshot capability commonly present in enterprise grade SAN storage devices to create clones and snapshots of both off- and on-line VM:s.
This feature would allow to create clones and snapshots of VM:s, even with large disks, much faster then what would be possible without using the storage's snapshot functionality.
