Hello Everyone,
I have followed the documentation provided by VMWare and updated our View v5.0 environment to v5.1. Seemed to all be working OK until I deleted the existing desktop pool and attempted to create a new one....
During the provisioning phase when view composer is creating a replica of the master image for the linked-clone pool it seems fine for about an hour... then the View Console reports an error and disables provisioning for the pool (meanwhile the cloning process for the master image is still continuing uninterrupted in the vSphere Client).
The errors that shows up in the View Console are;
"Connection Server - View Composer Fault: VC operation exceeded the task timeout limit of 0 mins set by the View Composer for <VM instance>"
"Connection Server - Provisioning Error occurred for machine <VM instance>: Cloning Failed for Machine"
It appears that View Composer has attempted to create linked clone VMs before the copy of the original master image has been completed.
If i re-enable provisioning for the pool another instance of the cloning process for the master image is commenced... even through one is already in progress !!!
Any advice or suggestions on how to fix this problem would be most welcome !.
Thank you, Makian.
