If a datastore is out of disk space, or you do not have permission to access the datastore, provisioning of a desktop pool can fail.
Problem
Provisioning of a desktop pool fails, and you see one of the following error messages in the event database.
- Provisioning error occurred for Machine Machine_Name: Cloning failed for Machine
- Provisioning error occurred on Pool Desktop_ID because available free disk space is reserved for linked clones
- Provisioning error occurred on Pool Desktop_ID because of a resource problem
Cause
You do not have permission to access the selected datastore, or the datastore being used for the pool is out of disk space.
Solution
- Verify that you have sufficient permissions to access the selected datastore.
- Verify whether the disk on which the datastore is configured is full.
- If the disk is full or the space is reserved, free up space on the disk, rebalance the available datastores, or migrate the datastore to a larger disk.
