Cause

VXVM doesn't support a mix of clone and non-clone devices in the same DiskGroup.

Issue/Introduction

Attempting to import a DiskGroup with a mix of clone and non-clone devices on a host running Volume Manager will fail due to missing devices. The DiskGroup can only be force imported. However, the missing LUNs are seen and are writable.
