Issue

  • In SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere (SCV) 5.0 or later, attach virtual disk(s) fails by the error:
    Failed to create the clone volume on node. Reason: Request to create clone failed because there is not enough space in the given aggregate.

  • Guest File Restore, which includes attach virtual disk(s) process, also fails with the same error.
  • Restoring VM on VMFS datastore fails, and the restore task in Recent Tasks in vCenter shows error:
    Unable to mount datastores: Datastore in Backup: 1.Failed to create LUN clone : No input ESX initiator Ids

  • This happens when ONTAP volume is configured as thick provisioning: -space-guarantee option is set to volume
  • Even if attaching disk is succeeded, clone volume is created with space-guarantee=volume when the original volume is thick provisioning
  • ONTAP volume clone create command with the same SCV backup Snapshot succeeds by specifying {}-space-guarantee none{}:
    ::> volume clone create -vserver <SVM> -volume <VOLUME> -flexclone <CLONE_VOLUME_NAME> -parent-snapshot <SCV_BACKUP_SNAPSHOT> -space-guarantee none
