Hi,

we had the same issue. It is a bug in VSC 5.0. We were given a beta version of VSC 5.0 that fixes this issue. If it is urgent, I recommend you contact NetApp Support. The version is:

VSC-5-0-3281-0

[roboshiro]

Thank you. Did they post this somewhere for you or is there a community?

[oweinmann]

Hey, did the beta actually fix it?

[roboshiro]

I have yet to obtain a copy, do you know when they are releasing an update to 5.0?

This is the error I am seeing in the nvpf.log, is this the same error you were seeing? Do you know of anywhere I can send my log file to for analysis?

I send you a private message with a DL link of the version that was provided to use by NetApp, did you try that? This should fix the error.

[txfichter]

I am experience the exact same issue and cannot fix it myself. Any chance I could get that DL as well? Really wish they would rush this patch.

[AndyKruesi]

Look here for the patch http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/vsc_win/5.0P1/

kind regards

andy

[nsrushi46]

is the patches have fixes of my issue (second time clone only allow 126 VM's)

Greetings!

We are experiencing the same error with freshly installed vSphere 5.5 & VSC 5.0. Can somebody give a link for a fixed VSC installation? I'd be very thankful.

[nsrushi46]

Hi 

i got different errors while doing Rapid clone, 

1) My first clone on any VM will allow me multiple clones (500 VM's clone the test i did )

2) same VM doing another time Rapid clone restricted only 126 and above 127 is getting error that doens't allow.

Any idea why this silly restriciton of second time clone the same one earlier cloned more than 300 vm's.

Pelase suggest or else i will need to open a case with NetApp.

BR.

Dr.Rushi.
