An slow network connection could cause VA deployment to fail with this error.
Edit C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\vRanger\Service\Vizioncore.vRanger.Service.exe.config.
Since vRanger 7.x C:\Program Files\Dell\vRanger\Vizioncore.vRanger.Service.exe.config
Locate the lines:
<add key="VirtualApplianceMonitorSecondaryIntervalInHours" value="6"/>
<!--Timeout in minutes for the disk uploasd to complete-->
<add key="VADiskDeploymentTimeout" value="10"/>
<!--Timeout in minutes for the scratch disk to be moved-->
<add key="MoveScratchDiskTimeout" value="10"/>
Increase the timeout value to something that will work with your network.
You can arbitrarily bump it up to 60 for 1 hour of upload time.
Make sure that no backup or replication jobs are running, then restart the vRanger Service.
