Description

Error Message:

The disk is not recognized as a distinct LUN.

Cause

The issue occurs because the Azure Snapshot Disks have the same WWN number, which the OS recognizes. They are viewed as separate paths to the same LUN.

Resolution

When creating a snapshot disk, Microsoft has to find a way to supply alternative WWN numbers.
