"clone this disk" not available to remote connections

[Kevin Goess <kgoess@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're just getting setup with kvm and virt-manager, and we noticed that on the "Clone virtual machine" screen, the "Clone this disk" option is greyed-out if you're using virt-manager over a remote connection.  It's only available to remote connections.

I see the source code in clone.py

```python

def can_we_clone(conn, vol, path):

      ...

       if conn.is_remote():

            msg = _("Cannot clone unmanaged remote storage.")

```

My question is *why* can we not clone unmanaged remote storage, or what do we have to do to make it "managed"?
