During SCSQL clone job the clone destination server goes offline
Applies to
SnapCenter Plugin for SQL (SCSQL)
Issue
When the clone destination server goes offline, one or more of the following symptoms may be observed:
- When the SCSQL clone process attaches the VMDK to the SQL VM, the Virtual Machine runs the VM Reconfigure task and the SCSQL destination server VM goes offline
Note: VMware admin needs to remove the VMDK disk for the clone from the VM and reboot the VM in order to recover from the VM failure
- VMware VM Reconfigure task takes long time to complete
- During VM Reconfigure task the Virtual Machine stops responding to network access and reports network timeouts
- During VM Reconfigure task the hosting ESX server reports "All paths down" (APD) event warnings. The underling NFS datastore is not disconnected from storage
