I am running VSphere and am attempting to clone an VM. I have successfully cloned 3 different VMs today on 2 different servers but this one is giving me fits.
The VMs are hosted on ESXi V6.7.
The host and guest are both in compliance according to Update Manager.
There is a base snapshot and the guest VM in question is powered down.
Compatibility is ESXi 6.7 and later (VM version 14)
The Datastore has plenty of room available on it.
Halfway through the clone process, I get the following non descript error.
A general system error occurred: internal error
digging into the log file on the VSphere server, I find the following.
The first sign of trouble seemed to be.

Some Workflow Context follows showing source and destination locations for VMDK and NVRam with a lot of parameters.
Then there is the error that was reported.

Any thoughts on what could cause this?
I can easily just load up a new OS, but I'd like to understand a bit more of how to fix this kind of error.
Thanks
