clone_from_vm: Failed to open file stream: ISO? #175

Hi, I am trying to clone an existing VM with clone_from_vm and the process proceeds very slowly (like 45 minutes for a 25GB vmdk) but at a certain point it fails:

│ Error: There was an ovftool Error: │ C:\Users\myself\automation3>ovftool --acceptAllEulas --noSSLVerify --X:useMacNaming=false -dm=thin --name="mpn-clone" --overwrite -ds="datastore1" "vi://root:Password%21@10.1.0.26:443/mpn-base" "vi://root:Password%21@10.1.0.26:443//" │ Opening VI source: vi://root@10.1.0.26:443/mpn-base │ Opening VI target: vi://root@10.1.0.26:443// │ Deploying to VI: vi://root@10.1.0.26:443// Transfer Failed │ Error: Failed to open file stream: https://10.1.0.26:443/ha-nfc/5287229d-a464-81a0-cbc1-46c1ee661500/mpn-base-0.iso │ Completed with errors │ │ exit status 1 │ │ with esxi_guest.mpn-clone, │ on main.tf line 26, in resource "esxi_guest" "mpn-clone": │ 26: resource "esxi_guest" "mpn-clone" {

Now, there's no ISO in the datastore mpn-base folder. Is this like a misleading message?

Thanks

Does that source vm have an iso assigned to the cdrom?
