Power CLI script copies paused VM and registers clone to vcenter with new name. The script worked under vCenter 5.5, Power CLI 5.5 w/ ESXi 5.1, but on Vcenter 6.0 / Power CLI 6.3 / ESXi 6.0 this fails.
New-VM -VMFilePath "$DestinationVMfile" -ResourcePool $SourceVMrespool -Name $SourceVMname-Copy
"The virtual machine which was created by task '<some task>' was not found. The likely cause is that the virtual machine was removed. The task name was 'RegisterVM_task'"
If it is of any relevance, the Vmware 6 environment is running on a Nutanix cluster. The VMWare 5.5 environment is a Dell VRTX.
If I try to run the New-VM command a second time with the same copy, I get a different error:
"The specified key, name, or identifier "<Vmware>-Copy" already exists"
This error is the same, even if I run the command with a different -Name value on the same copied files.
So while the first run isn't succeeding, I suspect it at least did some of the work for registering the VM (maybe it gets put in a database somewhere?), but I can't see the registered machine in vSphere.
