This value is visible in the Disk section of the Hardware Specifications tab in the Data Center dashboard. It is not possible to clone a Cloud Server if the combination of all of the local disks, plus ISO/FLP files exceeds the Maximum Total Storage for an Image value of the Data Center that the Cloud Server is located in.

After verification of a successful Virtual Hardware upgrade on the Server, then clone again to produce the final Client Image.First to create a snapshot of the Server prior to upgrading the Virtual Hardware.Where you want to create a new Client Image with up-to-date Virtual Hardware, this implies that it is advisable to clone twice: This is in case VMware encounters an issue with the upgrade. If Virtual Hardware is out of date on a Cloud Server, VMware recommends in the VMware Knowledge Base, that the Cloud Server is cloned prior to upgrading the Virtual Hardware.Non-Guest OS Customization Images must be powered off prior to cloning.In addition, servers under heavy I/O load (especially with disks on lower-performing disk speeds) may fail to clone due to the inability of VMware to quiesce the server. Because a clone is an exact replica of a Server's configuration, a running Server may have open files and/or other configuration statuses that may result in an unusable Client Image. It is strongly recommended that Guest OS Customization Servers be in a "stopped" state before cloning to make a Client Image.Only the Primary Administrator or a Sub-Administrator with the Create Image role can Clone a Cloud Server to create a Client Image.Non-Guest OS Customization Servers must be shut down prior to cloning. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to gracefully shut down a Guest OS Customization Server before cloning it. Additionally, file systems will probably be "dirty," potentially requiring a file system check during boot up of any Server deployed off the clone.
Any data in memory that has not been flushed to disk can be lost. Important: Making a clone of a running Guest OS Customization Server can be dangerous.
