John,

Clone_F implies that there was a constraint on the array due to which ESX failed back to a software copy (not using VAAI-xcopy). An example could be that the array is saturated.

ESX would check back with the array after awhile -5 minutes in vSphere 5.x to check if array is ready to accept more commands.

Also note the counters are incremental and reset on reboot. So be sure to note the value prior to testing VAAI primitives
