So then I created a snapshot, and 5 smart clones. Now when I try to mount those volumes it will only give me the option to format it. (see attached screen shot)
Am I doing something wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solutionhttp://www.tdonline.com/training/lefthand/mount-snapshot/
I did see a post that discussed this issue on vSphere however: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/229925
On page 2 there were some specific steps mentioned:
Re-Signature happens automatically. The DataStore will appear with snap-xxxxxx- where xxxxx is a random set of chars, you don't define the new name yourself..
To enable Resig and try the following from the service console of the ESX host :
Run the following commands:
1. esxcfg-advcfg --get /LVM/EnableResignature It should be set to 0 - Resignaturing is OFF
2. Now set it to on.
esxcfg-advcfg -s 1 /LVM/EnableResignature
3. Issue a "refresh" in VI client storage view and the snapshot Luns of the same source LUN get re-signatured simultaneously:
4. Reset the enableResignature option:
esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /LVM/EnableResignature

Re: SmartClone volumes in vSphere
When I assign the snapshot volume to all the machines in the cluster, it won't work.
I had to assign it to only a single server, get everything configured, then add it to the rest after.

Re: SmartClone volumes in vSphere
I still have this exact problem even if I try to assign the SmartClone to a single server. The only option is to format the volume. All othere options are greyed out.
Has anyone been able to successfully deploy the smartclone?
