cspec / OS Customization spec issues with vSphere 6

[Alex_Basista]

I'm wondering if anyone else ran into issues with cloning when moving to vSphere 6, specifically as it relates to Cspecs's and OS Customization spec's.

We had the following workaround in place working successfully in vSphere 5.1:

When attempting to clone within a vSphere 6.0 instance, the error appears to be occurring in the middle section in the screenshot above when it tries to duplicate:  $csmSpecMgr.DuplicateCustomizationSpec("MyCustSpec","MyCustSpec-copy")

And as expected, the 3rd section of the chunk of code above will error out as well - being that it is looking for that duplicate spec that does not exist.

Best,

Alex

Works for me.

There must be something wrong in the OSCustomizationSpec, that wasn't captured in vSphere 5.

Can you customize a VM with the original OSCustomizationSpec ?

Did you already check the vpxd logs, sometimes there are more detailed error messages in there
