Hi MrVmware9423,

Command seems ok,I hope there is some typing mistake.

please replace vimsvc instead of vmsvc.

I think if you monitor the hostd.log with "tail -f" option, you should be able to view messages related to the clone task initiation and also completion. Although, I do not think it will report you the progress.
