VixMntapi_OpenDisks()

Opens disks for mounting on a Linux virtual machine, or disk sets on a Windows virtual machine. VixMntapi supports whatever file systems the proxy supports. On Linux, VixMntapi does not support Logical Volume Manager (LVM), although vendors can write their own scripts to support LVM disks.
