I'm running Windows 2008 R2 in an ESX virtual machine with Exchange 2010 loaded at one of my sites. I recently ran into an issue where SnapDrive was unable to mount a LUN during the SME snapshot process, specifically when trying to verify the snapshot that was just taken.
------------------------- SnapDrive Operation Start ---------------------------------
Disk connect operation on server - XXXX failed for reason
VDS volume object for the LUN s/n 'P3d/koYntsDA' has not been found
--------------------- The complete operation list is shown as
The fix for this is to patch SnapDrive with SnapDrive 6.2P1.
Which fixes this bug among others:

There's already a BURT on this issue http://web.netapp.com/~burt/views/506/506793.html and a workaround has been provided in this discussion http://communities.netapp.com/thread/7259 (look at thomas.glodde answer of 08-Mar-2010 05:39)

I) Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975921
II) Verify the "SAN Policy" setting in Windows DISKPART is set to the default value of "Offline Shared"
1. Open a Windows Command Prompt (CLI)
2. Type "diskpart" at the prompt, and hit
3. At the DISKPART> prompt, type "san":
DISKPART> san
SAN Policy : Online All
4. If the current setting is not the Windows default of "offline shared"; Type "san policy=offlineshared":
DISKPART> san policy=offlineshared
DiskPart successfully changed the SAN policy for the current operating system.
5. Type "san" to verify it has been changed to "Offline Shared":
DISKPART> san
SAN Policy : Offline Shared
III) If you are still unable to mount a snapshot using SnapDrive, try completing the following steps:
1. Open a Windows Command Prompt (CLI)
2. Type "diskpart" at the prompt, and hit
3. At the DISKPART> prompt, type "automount disable"
After completing these changes, SnapDrive should be able to successfully mount a snapshot of a LUN on the same Windows Server 2008 system when the original LUN is mounted."
