failed to getVhdParent with args isISCSI
### versions

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the attached logs.txt and reproducing the sequence: create one volume snapshot, then attempt a second on the same volume in the listed XCP-ng and FC setup. Trace the reported “getVhdParent with args isISCSI” failure in the snapshot path. Done means consecutive snapshots succeed without that error.
