With the physical raw device mapping (pRDM) mount operation, you can mount snapshots directly on VMs that do not have dedicated Fibre Channel (FC) adapters, without using a physical computer as a mount proxy computer.
The pRDM mount operation is supported on the following snapshot engines and snapshot agents.
