vCenter 5.1 Hot-Clone Esxi 5.1 VM VMFS5 vmdk with Multi-Writer Flag Problem

VM is with 1 Shared VMDK Disk with Multi-Writer Flag ON

When vCenter Hot-Clone the VM, it will take a Snapshot that includes the Shared VMDK Disk

But once the Snapshot is taken for the shared VMDK Disk, vCenter would also unexpectedly power down the VM !!!!!!

And also, the Shared VMDK Disk CANNOT be accessed any more , because its Delta Disk CANNOT be accessed by the RHEL 6.5 GFS2 Cluster File System !!!!!

I CANNOT even power on the VM with the attached Shared VMDK Disk.

Is there any patch that can fix the problem????
