Horizon 7 Instant Clones get error

[robrie]

Hi,

ysesterday i updated my infrastructure to horizon 7. Buid a new GM to create a new Windows 7 Pool with Instant Clones.

After pool creation i get an error in view administrator " horizon instant clone Initial publish failed: Fault type is UNKNOWN FAULT FATAL - Unknown error"

Does anyone know about this error ?

Regards,

I just went through this and it looks like I forgot to disable instant clone maintenance mode. I did it manually but the error was still occurring. I had to follow method 2 provided with the link below. Seems like a fairly annoying part of instant clones, hopefully they will make it a bit more integrated into the GUI or perhaps trigger automatically in the back end when a host is going into maintenance. It will take some effort to get update manager working around this; we will probably have to use Orchestrator to fire off the script and go host by host.

Is it possible for you to attach broker debug log file from the time of this error. That should help in understanding the problem.
