Hi manuelalvarez 

 

I am doing some tests in the lab here and I am seeing similar issues.

Could you get an SR going with support for this please?

 

Once you have the SR number, could you send me a private message with the SR number?

You can even add the link to this thread to the SR notes so that support knows the context.

Once I have the SR number, I will take the SR to Engineering/Dev.

 

Thanks

When I try to login the the support site I receive the following error, thus preventing me from creating the SR:

"We can't log you in. Check for an invalid assertion in the SAML Assertion Validator (available in Single Sign-On Settings) or check the login history for failed logins."

For some reason, I also can't send you private messages, I only get a red bar on the bottom of my screen when I click on "Send", but no error is show.

Thanks for the tip, but nope.  I'm actually on a Mac, tried with Safari and Chrome, then tried with a PC with Chrome.  It won't even copy the images from one datastore to the other.

Hi Rainer,

In my case, I used Chrome.

I tested copying a VM template folder to a vVOL, local host disk, and Unity vmfs Datastore.

Only fails when a vVOL is the target datastore.

I also recreated this with other file types (like a normal ISO file) just to make sure this was not specific to VMDK files, etc.

The error, in my case, is always "Insufficient disk space on datastore". And yes, I have loads of space .

I suspect this to be a bug (similar to https://support.emc.com/kb/492360) but I need to take it to Engineering.

Maybe its trying to copy it to the config vVol instead of the data vVol  - config vVols are limited to 4GB max size

Could it be this error  ?

Uploading a file using the datastore browser fails when the file is larger than 4GB on Internet Explorer
When you upload a file larger than 4GB using the datastore browser on Internet Explorer, your receive the error:

Failed to transfer data to URL.

Internet Explorer does not support files larger than 4GB.

Workaround: Use the Chrome or Firefox browser to upload files from the datastore browser.

Call support to get that SR open please.

For private message, you have to follow me first. I already follow you so we cam exchange messages.

Check this:

"Private message" function missing

I have created a private thread so we can talk about this.

Thanks,

Andre @ Dell EMC
