VM disk clone Error: Unsupported target disk size. Disk size must be 60.0 GB

• When performing VM disk clone from CLI in order to expand disk size, process errors out with message - 

>request system clone-system-disk target sdb
 Error: Unsupported target disk size.   Disk size must be 60.0 GB

• VM series
• VMware

• The command checker looks for exactly 60 GB in the target disk.  This is because the new partitions will be expanded up to 60 GB total.  For example, /opt/panlogs will be expanded with logs being copied to it as well There should be no loss in log data

1. Shut down the PA-VM and add the new disk under Edit Setting on VSphere Client Console

2. Verify new disk is successful attached under /dev partition (i.e., 60GB)

3. Execute request system clone-system-disk target <name of new disk> to clone the OS image to new disk (i.e., sdb)

4. clone-system-disk command will trigger a restart and upon successful conversion you will receive the disk cloning procedure completed message in console

5. Shut down the PA-VM to change the LUN ID. Remove the SCSI (0:0) allocation from Hard disk 1 (old)  And move Hard disk 2 (new) to first.

6. Start the PA-VM to verify the normal operation.
