Restoring vSphere snapshots fails in OpenShift 4

Issue

• When trying to restore a snapshot the PVC is stuck in Pending state with error:

  LAST SEEN   TYPE      REASON                   OBJECT                                  MESSAGE
  59m         Warning   ProvisioningFailed       persistentvolumeclaim/patatapps   failed to provision volume with StorageClass "datastore-01": rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = datastore URL "ds:///vmfs/volumes/63f8a0ec-d7328fb8-c718-d89d67f39fa7/" given in storage class does not match the snapshot datastore URL "ds:///vmfs/volumes/66ffbc5e-b2014056-8e42-d89d67f39fa7/".
  

• Trying to restore into a different vSphere CSI storageClass fails with:
