    Team - 
    Scenario in PowerVC 2.2.0
    Added storage array with pluggable drive ( no Native support ).
    Created VM and attached a couple blank luns.with this storage.
    Booted up VM and loaded mksysb with no issues.
    In PowerVC , I wanted to capture this image so that it can redeployed as needed.

    Getting error message :

    Capture of virtual machine XXXXX on host YYY failed with exception: Group 'XYZ123' has a current state as 'error'. Group must be in 'available' state.

    After the failure , PowerVC deletes the failed image

    Google is NOT your friend on this one and was unable to source anything in documentation.

    Hi Alan! We've just had a similar problem. We saw that the PowerVC manager was low on cpu. It was running almost at 100% usr.

    We increased the cpu for the manager, rebooted the manager, retried the opperation and it worked.

    I hope this would be helpful.

    Regards.

    Pablo.
