[Error converting the disk from a sparse VMDK to a flat VMDK]

Thanks,  We have both offload compositing and cache turned off with this test.

 

Ironically when we have Offload compositing enabled it has a different error. The VM boots but throws the following error: (I also included a screen shot)

---------------

Startup task Uni.Appliance.Contracts.CompositingEngine.StartupTasks.RegisterWithElm failed: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network 150.250.249.18:65530

---------------

 

Looks like the VM is trying to open a connection to port 65530 on the ELM. Perhaps this related to my original question?

[Error converting the disk from a sparse VMDK to a flat VMDK]

Hello all, I would appreciate any help you may have.

 

We are testing app layering with a VMware 7.0.1 connector. Whenever we add an application layer or add a version to our 2019 or 20H1 OS layers it fails with the following error:

-------------------

2021-06-17 07:46:21,550 INFO    [52]        DeployPackagingDis: status for CpTask 25548868, status Uploading Server 2019Boot.vmdk:  97% (11100 of 11342 MB)

--------------------

Does anyone have an idea what this might be? I have a support ticket in with Citrix but so far they have nothing.

 

Thanks in advance.
