Hello,

It is complaing about the SCSI Adapter.

>> An unexpected error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM vm-8033.

Try to change the SCSI Adapter type to LSI Logic SAS or Parallel.

Yes, you are right. I just fixed the issue 10mins before and it worked.

I changing the adaptor to "LSI Logic SAS" but I don't know, why the cloning takes different scsi type.

Any way thanks for your response.

Cheers,
