ESXi 5.5 fully patched, View 6
When I recompose my largest pool which consists of 340 linked clone desktops I often get an error part way through and provisioning stops. The error is "Could not open/create change tracking file"
On my master image I attempt to change ctkEnabled and scsi0:0:ctkEnabled to false, ctkEnabled does not stay false it reverts back to true. According to VMWare support this is a known bug. The only fix that I know of is to raise the hardware level of the master image to 10 and edit the vmx file directly making ctkEnabled false. I do not want to go this route since the web client is horrible.
After I get this error message, if I start provisioning again quite often it finished make all the linked clones. Does anyone have a good fix for this?
