User may choose to keep the original Uuid and mount the VMFS volume as it is on the given host. In this case, user has chosen to mount the copy of the VMFS volume on that host with no change to the original Uuid. This may fail with VmfsVolumeAlreadyMounted exception if there is an existing VMFS volume with the same Uuid mounted somewhere in the same datacenter.
