VirtualCenter 2.5U3 - Clone fails with failed to connect to host

[HCC]

Hi,

I am tryng to clone a win2003 VM but I am gett the error "failed to connect to host". I have not modifed any hosts or anything and I have done this in the past without issue but for some reason it won't let me clone the VM now... Any thoughts ? Could it be a HA or DRS setting or something like that?

Thanks

hi,

Take a look at this link

The first solution in the artice was not what you want to try first.

Take a look at post 3.

What I did was the following:

- assured the DNS stuff was setup correctly

- removed the host fom the vc server

- removed the vpxa.cfg on the host (acctually renamed it)

- rejoined the host to the vc server (this got me a new vpxa.cfg generated with the correct IP)

Same error but it's not when cloning it's a template issue: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/121153

Hope this will give you some tips or a solution 😃
