Clone volume fails with "VM None does not belong to any vmgroup"

[vxav]

When I try to clone a volume I always get an error "VM None does not belong to any vmgroup".
Of course my photon host is in a vmgroup.
I can make sure of it because if I create a docker volume with the vsphere driver on Photon1 (on ESX1), Photon0 (on ESX0) picks it up instantly.
Tried with a volume attached and with a detached one.

Photon output

root@photon1 [ ~ ]# docker volume create --name own_Clone --driver=vsphere -o clone-from=own_own Error response from daemon: create own_Clone: VolumeDriver.Create: VM None does not belong to any vmgroup

The issue seems to be with the vm_uuid not being provided to the clone volume op, thats causing the issue:

Thanks @vxav That was a good catch. Clone operations works fine for VMs in DEFAULT vm-group but was broken if VM is member of named VM-Group. @govint fixed in #1451 Fix will be available in upcoming release (June-30th) Let us know if you need patch for 0.14 release.
