ONTAP Select VM Not Recognized After Unsupported Clone
Applies to
- NetApp ONTAP Select (OTS)
- VMware vSphere environments
- Cloned Virtual Machine (VM)
Issue
After performing an unsupported cold clone of an ONTAP Select (OTS) VM node (for snapshot consolidation), the following issues were observed:
- The cloned VM runs and ONTAP System Manager may show the cluster as healthy initially.
- ONTAP Deploy cannot discover or manage the cloned VM node.
- Cluster refresh in Deploy shows node state changes such as "
powered_on" to "powered_off". - Deploy continues referencing the original VM name even after it is renamed or powered off.
