Description

Create a bhyve or docker VM (using QA-Test in this example)

Create a clone of the VM QA-Test
VM Options (3 vertical dots) -> Edit -> CLONE
The clone is created (QA-Test_clone0)

Delete the clone
VM Options (3 vertical dots) -> Delete

Try to clone the same VM again
VM Options (3 vertical dots) -> Edit -> CLONE
Creating the clone silently fails.

Checked the middlewared.log
[2018/08/30 20:55:03] (ERROR) ZFSSnapshot.do_create():388 - dataset already exists

There should be an error or warning about why the clone operation failed.

Testing with a FreeNAS Mini updated to FreeNAS-11.2-MASTER-201810020854:

Go to VMs and create Bhyve VM clonetesting. Confirm VM starts and functions, then stop VM, Edit VM, and click CLONE. VM clonetesting_clone0 is created. Start clonetesting_clone0 and confirm it functions. Stop the VM and delete it. Edit original VM clonetesting and click CLONE again. New VM clonetesting_clone0 is created and functional.

Switch to a different FreeNAS system that has an existing VM with an invalid name. Update system to FreeNAS-11.2-MASTER-201810020854 and attempt to clone VM with invalid name. Error appears:

VM clone failed.
[EINVAL] vm_create.name: Only alphanumeric characters are allowed.
[EINVAL] vm_create.devices.1.attributes.zvol_type: Field was not expected
+ More info...

This appears to match the change to VM cloning error behavior.
