Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
When a new pmem disk is added after taking a snapshot, reverting to the snapshot point leaves the pmem disk detached and orphaned.

Environment

VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7

Cause

We do not delete any base disk after revert since the user might have valuable data in the disk.

Resolution

This is a known issue in VMware ESXi 6.7.
Currently, there is no solution.

Workaround:
Manually delete the PMEM disk.
