@ZouYuhua , please help fix this issue.

1. Before test starts, we need to check VM's datastore meets instant clone requirements. And please figure out what kind of datastore can be used for instant clone. From above error, NFS datastore can't be used for instant clone. If the datastore can't be used for instant clone, test result can be set as "Not Applicable".
2. Before VM instant clone, we should add task to check serial port and remove it if it exists.

We'll track this issue internally when meet again, close this issue.
