Description

Disclaimer

Known affected version(s) that were inferred because the vendor did not provide any: 8.0.3.00500

Overview

In a mixed vCenter environment, where vCenter is on version 8.0 Update 2 or later and ESXi is on version 7.0 Update 3 or earlier, when you clone a VM with FCD, the parameter KeepAfterDeleteVM is set to FALSE by default. As a result, if the cloned VM is deleted, the attached cloned FCD is also deleted. This issue is resolved in this release.
