Can someone explain why cloning is not supported please?
We are migrating from one building to another and do not wish to re-install and we cannot take the existing servers with us. We need to move to a new VM hosting environment.
Is the reasoning behind cloning not being supported is the unpredictable resources it consumes?
would appreciate if someone could tell me the WHY in this not being supported please?
thanks,
paul.

Not sure what software you trying to clone.
you can snap shot, or move the VM source to another ESXI. ( not sure your environment has vMotion ?).
here KB from Vmware :

Cloning is supported, snapshot however is not. You should be able to move the VM from one DC to another, obvious this would require a change in IP address in the guest OS, aka in CVOS.

When I try to upload a uc iso image to the esxi datastore, the uploading stops at sometimes 44%, sometimes 46% and then I can suddenly see the uploading status bar disappears and the image file is in the datastore. When I come back to the datastore again later, I can not see the file there anymore.
