CAUSE
Potential cause:
The FMW_Home wasn't cleaned up (removed) before clone was attempted again.
The CLONE2016-08-23_10-49-34_184637119.log file reports the following:
>> fail: write Domain to "/fs2/FMW_Home/user_projects/domains/EBS_domain"

SOLUTION
To resolve the issue test the following steps in a development instance and then migrate accordingly:
1. Clear the FMW_HOME following Note 2047809.1 - Cloning Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (AD-TXK Delta 6 or Lower Codelevel) with Rapid Clone Appendix A and the oraInventory as follows:
On the Applications tier:
A. De-register the Oracle Homes on both Run Edition and Patch Edition file system:
B. Verify if Oracle Inventory contains the following Oracle Home entries for the Run Edition or Patch Edition file system:
<FMW_HOME>/oracle_common
<FMW_HOME>/webtier
<FMW_HOME>/Oracle_EBS-app1
C. If any of the above Oracle Home entries are already registered in Oracle Inventory, you can execute the following command to de-register or detach that Oracle Home:
$ ./runInstaller -detachhome \
ORACLE_HOME=<Oracle Home Location> [-invPtrLoc <s_invPtrLoc>]
Note:
-invPtrLoc argument needs to be specified only if an 'EBS Installation Central' inventory is being used.
s_invPtrLoc is the context variable that stores the inventory pointer location.
For example:
$ cd /u02/r122/fs1/FMW_Home/oracle_common/oui/bin
$ ./runInstaller -detachhome \
ORACLE_HOME=/s0/r122/at1/FMW_Home/oracle_common
If the FMW_HOME directory structure exists, delete it as follows:
$ rm -rf <FMW_HOME>
2. Retest the fs_clone process and confirm it completes successfully.
