I had a similar problem with the clone create applet. It seems like there's a 60 second timeout, after which the applet throws this error. In my case the action was actually completing though, despite the error. I was able to work around the issue similar to this:
$CloneVolume = $Null
$LoopCounter = 0
Get-WFALogger -Info -Message $("--- Creating volume clone $($CloneVolName) of parent volume $($ParentVolname) with backing snapshot $($ParentVolName).")
Try { New-NcVolClone -VserverContext $VserverName -CloneVolume $CloneVolName -ParentVolume $ParentVolname -ParentSnapshot $ParentSnapname -SpaceReserve none -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }
Catch { Get-WFALogger -Warn -Message $("=== Caught an error in previous command.") }
While (!$CloneVolume -And ($LoopCounter -le 3)) {
$CloneVolume = Get-NcVolClone -Vserver $VserverName -Name $CloneVolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
If (!$CloneVolume) {
Get-WFALogger -Warn -Message $("=== Timed out waiting for $($CloneVolName) to arrive - waiting another 10 seconds.")
Sleep 10
$LoopCounter++
}
} I'm sure there's a better way to address the issue, but this is has been working in my case for over a week now.
