             Summary: VMware fails to copy image under ESXi 5.1
                 Key: VCL-668
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-668
             Project: VCL
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: vcld (backend)
    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
            Reporter: Andy Kurth
            Assignee: Andy Kurth
            Priority: Minor


The behavior of the vmkfstools utility included with VMware ESXi has changed in 5.1.  While it is copying a vmdk, it displays output such as:
Clone: 0% done.
Clone: 77% done.

In previous versions, the last line of output was:
Clone: 100% done.

With 5.1, the 100% line is not always displayed.  The last line of output may be something like "Clone: 96% done." and the utility exits with the vmdk being successfully copied.  VMware.pm is checking for the "100%" string.  As a result, the code assumes the copy failed even though it is successful.  There is no output displayed by vmkfstools indicating it was successful even though it was.
