Hi

I have the following setup:

3 Node Hyper-V 3.0 (Server 2012) Cluster

2 Node SOFS Cluster (Server 2012)

VMM 2012

I am trying to clone a virtual machine in VMM, when I come to selecting the path for the virtual machine I select one of the folders on our SOFS and click next but get the following error:

The Specified path is not a valid folder path on hostname.domain.local

Specify a valid folder path on hostname.domain.local which the virtual machine will be saved on

ID: 2409

There is a super-duper helpful KB here which basically says put the VM on highly available storage rather than the local drive on the HV host - I am using a SOFS share which is highly-available.  I can't find much information beyond that pertaining to this error...

Steps I have taken to troubleshoot:

• Tried a different Hyper-V Host
• Tried a different SOFS Share
• Restarting VMM
• Tried making a VM rather than cloning

Last week I was creating VMs to my heart's content.  I have not installed any updates or changed and configurations since last week.

Many thanks

Did you ever get an answer to this as I have the same issue?

Hi

I think this fixed itself as have been deploying and creating templates for a while now!

Can't think of anything obvious I may have done to get it to work.
