Solved Error when cloning or copying VDIs of Windows VMs in 8.2
-
Hi
Last week I upgraded one of my pools from 8.1 to 8.2 with the recommended method.
Now I've found that I cannot create new VMs from any of my custom Windows templates or snapshots. Whenever I copy/clone one snapshots, VM or template I get the following error:
The server failed to handle your request, due to an internal error. The given message may give details useful for debugging the problem.
message: Subprocess exited with unexpected code 127; stdout = [ ]; stderr = [ ]I've also tried to create a new template from a fresh Windows 2019 server with the same result: I've created a new VM from the base Windows 2019 template, installed the OS and XCP-ng tools, updates and then converted it to a template. Using this new template as a source for a new VM.
If I take a custom CentOS 7 template all the operations described above work flawlessly.
If you need more data please let me know.
Thanks a lot

Is your host fully patched? You will likely need to check the logs for further details.

@danp Thanks for your reply.
I reviewed the logs but found nothing I could use to explain why the clone/copy operation is failing. I´ll do some tests and post the content of the logs files here. -
I feel really stupid, there were some new updates to be applied, and one of those solved the problem.
Thanks @danp for pointing me in the right direction. -
Don't feel stupid. I'm not sure about your problem origin and how updates fixed it, but keep us posted if it happens again

I ran into the same problem after upgrading from 8.1 to 8.2. My VMs were Windows 10, and the clones were being initiated by UDS Enterprise.
yum update -y fixed it, without a reboot or toolstack restart.
