Explanation
Since the root cause identified in Question 9 is 'Failed to create Native clone errors,' the fix is to ensure that the VAAI (vStorage APIs for Array Integration) plugin is installed and running on the ESXi hosts. VAAI enables VMware to offload storage operations - including full copies and native clones - directly to the Nutanix storage layer, bypassing the ESXi host CPU and network stack. Without VAAI, VMware cannot create native clones and must fall back to slow host-based copy operations. Verifying and reinstalling the VAAI/NFS plugin (Answer A) directly resolves the native clone failures. Setting the host power policy to Balanced (Answer B) would reduce performance. Adding more resources (Answer C) would not fix a software/driver issue. Removing memory reservations (Answer D) is unrelated to cloning failures.
