Linked clone failed: the operation is not supported on the object

Hi all - I would appreciate help on a related clone operation that is a failure.

I use Quest vWorkspace to create linked clone VM in my environment.  It integrates with virtual Center and creates from a VM snapshot parent according to normal related clones.  It has just stopped working and I am trying to track down the cause.  The task fails with the error message in the console of VMware vCenter: the operation is not supported on the object.

The vCentre is 5.5 and esxi.  vWorkspace is v8.0 MR1.  The parent VM is located on an iSCSI datastore.  I tried to put the clones of destination on premises and warehouses of NFS data with the same result.  Unfortunately I can't (don't want really to) move the VM parent from the data store that I have of many VM related to this virtual machine.

The failure message is a bit generic, so I looked on through the vmkernel.log and vpxa.log and it is an excerpt from the vpxa.log whereby it shows failed task 153.  Can someone please indicate something in the newspaper that had to be examined or another newspaper to look at?

vWorkspace attached error and below:

Linked clone has not CreateLinkedClone_Task of CloneVmLinked failed! Task of VMware CreateLinkedClone_Task status error - the operation is not supported on the object. -Call stacks-VmLinkedClone.VmLinkedCloneService.CloneVmLinked String vmInvPath, String strSnapshotMor, String strNewVmName, String strSysprep, ManagedObjectReference morFolder, ManagedObjectReference morResPool, ManagedObjectReference morHost, String strDatastoreName, Boolean bQuickPrep, String domainNameIP, String

Thank you very much

Hello guys,.

For those of you already on 5.5, I did a few tests these days. I did find a magic bullet yet as a single parameter that is sure to break but I came up with a workaround.

I found that if my ESXi server was still on the 5.1, vWorkspace could deploy clones linked via vCenter 5.5 - it's only when the ESXi is also on 5.5 that you have a problem.

If any of you have ESXi hosts still on 5.1, you can deploy there for now.

In ESXi 5.x, it is easy to have an ESXi virtual machine. You might want to consider creating some virtual boxes ESXi to deploy on while the vworkspace dev team look at why it does not work.

I know that this is not the best solution in the world, but it's better than no work around

Thank you, Andrew.

  • Error "operations is not supported on the object." when importing .ovf in the vCloud Director 5.5 machine

    I am trying to import a virtual machine (composed of three .mf, hard, .ovf files), when I try to download the VM, it gets downloaded 100% in the catalogs, but gives an error "Cannot create" as condition to the end and when I check the error in detail, it gives me that "operations is not supported on the object.". Checked the Virtaul Center, I get the same error that 'operations is not supported on the object."in the taskbar. Google it a lot but could not find a relevant solution.

    Just for the record I have DRS activated in full auto mode and only in the aggressive State.

    Can someone help me what I can do to remedy the problem.

    There are two parts to the upload.

    5.5 download dialog box represents the progression to the record of transfer vCloud Director of the FVO.  The download method is via the integration of Client plug-in (which uses the OVF tool).

    If the pop-up window can 100% success, I think that the element of the catalogue shows 50% and tries to download files to vCenter/ESXi as an import job.  If the import job fails, then you need to investigate the newspapers of vCenter/ESXi side for more details.

  • vmrun clone: "operation is not supported"?

    Hello

    I'm trying to clone a virtual machine using vmrun with vSphere/ESX4 by using the following command line:

    "C:\Program VMware VIX\vmrun.exe ' t h esx https://44.1.1.122/SDK u root password Pei clone '[datastore1] model 2003 Win/Win 2003 Template.vmx' "[datastore1] Win 2003 model-X/Win 2003 model - X.vmx" full

    but I get the error:

    Error: The operation is not supported

    What the operation is not supported? I've not seen anything that suggests that ESX4 does not support clone.

    Thanks advance.

    CC

    To be completely explicit:

    ESX supports the operation.

    However, the VIX API and vmrun do NOT support the operation against ESX. Cloning a VM is much more complicated in the vSphere environment that is in a workstation environment and of the VIX API current does not expose this complexity; for example, Clone in vSphere must know the folder in which to place the clone resulting.

  • Printer does not work on the Windows XP computer, get the error message like "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported.

    Original title: 1. printer stopped communicating with the computer. 2 port - associated configuration error?

    I have a big problem. All of a sudden my printer - AIO Photo964 said he cannot communicate with my computer. The printer works fine. I tried switching cables USB, all the trouble shooting suggestions, etc. etc. Nothing works and it makes no sense. I can't print anything. I thought it would be that I installed a Seagate external hard drive backup, then I uninstalled the program - no help. ITunes installed recently, because she had changed the printer default, changed back - no help. The USB cable is not tight in the printer (or both cables, I tried), but AFAIK it's not new (?) And when I try to configure the port, I get the error message "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported"I have no idea what it means.  Can someone help me with this? I have to return a new printer? The USB port on the printer is repairable if this is the problem? How will I know? Who would do that?

    Thanks, I'd appreciate any help.

    It is always useful to have the complete error message without paraphrase.

    It also helps to identify the version of Windows you have, including service pack.

    And it helps to give the manufacturer of the printer in addition to the model.  In your case, I guess you have a Dell printer.  I know that some Dell printers are rebadged Lexmarks, but I don't know if it's a.

    Why you try to configure the USB port?  It cannot be configured - you've discovered.  It's normal.

    It's quite strange that an iTunes installation would have had something to do with the printers.  What printer was made by default after installing iTunes?

    You say you have tried another USB cable.  Have you tried using a different USB port on the computer? Have you checked in the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to see if there is all the warning icons in the category "controllers of Bus USB?

    I suggest you uninstall the printer software and driver completely and reinstall by following the directions in Its first Article.

    Don't skip step 4.  After step 4 and step 5, follow these steps:

    Important: If you have a Lexmark printer, skip the following

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS
    net start spooler

  • I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

    The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

    Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation?  A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new.  If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.

    In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista.  Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

  • Virtual and models - computers cannot move the VM in the folder "operation is not supported on the object."

    Hey everybody,

    We are running vSphere 4.0. During the whole period that we used vSphere, we use vApps and Resource Pools hosts and Clusters to organize and manage the virtual machines used by our production team and test. From what I understand, this can be semantically incorrect (see: http://virtualizationreview.com/blogs/everyday-virtualization/2010/10/vsphere-folder-organization.aspx). So, I've navigated to models and virtual computers, created in folders with permissions of the user and tried to move their respective VMs to their folders... and I get the following error:

    "The operation is not supported on the object."

    So, should I go on the resolution of this or to leave things as they are?

    What are your opinions?

    Is there a right or wrong way to manage VMs of the multiple users?

    Thank you for your time and help,

    Johnathan

    Avinash21,

    Thanks for the tip.

    Move the virtual machines of the TIME solved the problem.

    When I suggest them to the root of the host, I was able to move in a user folder.

    Thanks again,

  • vmrun return "this operation is not supported with the current permit.

    Hello

    I just installed the 5.1 esxi and I have 2 vm windows works well.

    I use the vSphere client to manage the hypervisor.

    I have not installed vCenter stuff, so it is just bare hypervisor os.

    When I ran the following:

    «vmrun t h 10.10.0.9:443 u vpxuser Pei xxx list esx»

    He returns with "this operation is not supported with the current permit.

    In fact, I have installed esxi5 on hypervisor licensing, do not know why I get this error message.

    Access the esxi5 through the sphere client works very well (I could create vm, take snapshots, etc.).

    Please let me know if I missed any steps. Thank you

    -antony

    Welcome to the community,

    with the free license of the hypervisor, access to vSphere API is restricted, which is most likely causing this issue. To unlock the API, you must have a paid license. Unless your host has already exceeded the 60-day evaluation period, you could try to revisit the evaluation mode to see if the command works as expected.

  • Reviews operations - the operation is not supported

    Hello

    I use vmware.vim api in a c# project. When I try to get the GuestAuthentication with AcquireCredentialIsGuest object, I get the following error:

    "A NotSupported server of type error with the message"the operation is not supported on the object."occurred during the requested operation operation."

    Orders are not disabled, virtualmachine, or on the host. I'm running out of ideas what could be wrong. Can someone help me?

    Code:

    GuestOperationsManager t (GuestOperationsManager) = customer. GetView (customer. ServiceContent.GuestOperationsManager, null);

    GuestAuthManager c = customer (GuestAuthManager). GetView (t.AuthManager, null);

    NamePasswordAuthentication userCred = new NamePasswordAuthentication();

    userCred.Username = "xxxx";
    userCred.Password = "xxxx";
    userCred.InteractiveSession = false;

    GuestAuthentication a = c.AcquireCredentialsInGuest (vm. MoRef, userCred, null);

    Thank you!

    Hi Méteron,

    If I understand correctly it train physicians AuthManager.AcquireCredentialsInGuest we are not allowed to use NamePasswordAuthentication with this method. Instead try to pass an instance of NamePasswordAuthentication directly to the method that requires authentication and do not GuestAuthManager at all.

    Hope this helps :-)

  • VixDiskLib_Cleanup always returns vixError (6) - the operation is not supported for the specified parameters

    Any ideas how we can determine what parameters it dislikes?  I am the appellant after VixDiskLib_Disconnect as recomment docs and using the same connection params struct I used with VixDiskLib_ConnectEx.

    Thank you

    -Ron

    vixError = VixDiskLib_Cleanup (connectParamsP, & numCleanedUp, & numRemaining);

    vixError (6) - the operation is not supported for the specified parameters

    Ron,

    I think that your connection is probably not use all transport advanced, in which case _Cleanup does nothing. If you connect without using advanced transport, cleaning returns 6 - there is nothing to clean up.

  • Linked Clones remain the 'customisation' stage (composer)

    Hello

    I am trying to Setup automated pools view 4.5. It is my first use of pool automated using linked clones. The work of fine manual pools. When I create the pool all seems good. The replica is created and the clones follow shortly after. They then appear in the admin view in the inventory menu / Desktop, but they have a version of the 'unknown' agent and a status of "customization." They have been at this stage, for about 45 minutes, without change.

    When I look at them in vCenter I see that they are turned on and running, but looking at the Summary tab shows that they are still using the host name of the VM parent, so I guess that the sysprep process command has not yet been executed. They picked up a DHCP ip address correctly, and VMware Tools is running. I tried to manually restart one of the clones to see if it was a blocked process, but she comes back with the same status. The guest OS is Win7. To check the vCenter customization, I deployed a VM from the same model that the parent VM and using the same saved vCenter customization and it works very well, change the host name and join the domain correctly.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated!

    TIA,

    Jules.

    What is the customization you have selected during the creation of pool (Sysprep/QuckPrep)?

    Please not that regardless of the linked clone type (syspre/quickprep) customization will try to join to the domain that you chose in the Create Pool Wizard and * NOT * to that specified in the selected custom VC specification. That is why the domain account that is set up (the server vcenter - Configuration of the server administrator display page properties) should be correct, and the DNS server to resolve this area.

    So make sure you:

    1. the parameters for each client and DNS domain connectivity

    2 Appropritae account domain and ORGANIZATIONAL unit selected in the Create Pool Wizard

    3. the added domain account has enough permissions (see the admin Guide)

    If above settings are proper, then,

    4. check that the ' connect to power on "is enabled for the virtual Parent card computer and consists of the snapshot as the network settings (return tot eh snapshot and check network settings)

    It turns out the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers must be cleaned too - delete all subkeys (and their values) EXCLUDES the Internet Provider LanMan Print Services and printing keys (and their values).  A reboot is required.

    Hope it will be useful for people who have this problem in the future.

    BUT there may be a small light at the end of the tunnel.
    As far as I know Longhorn is a new Microsoft OS Server which is not official on the market. (can I ask how you got this oS ;))
    The Longhorn supports parts of the Vista or free spoken is Vista with additional features.

    However, I think you should check out the Vista drivers available for Satellite A100 and Equium A100 series and possibly unique pilots will run
