NCD – How do I clone a VM?
To copy a VM, click the Copy button from its VM detail page. The “Copy VM” form will appear, which requires you to specify:
- Destination vApp
- VM Name -- The VM name cannot be blank and cannot be the same as another VM in the same vApp.
- Hostname
- Storage Policy -- Standard or High (high-speed, low latency, SSD-based storage).
- NIC Connected To -- Network connection
-- and permits you to specify:
- Initial Backup -- Sets VM to be local-backup-enabled upon creation.
- Offsite Backup -- Displayed if "Initial Backup" is checked. Sets VM to be remote-backup-enabled upon initial creation.
- Admin Password
- Change SID
- For Windows VMs: the Antivirus checkbox, to enable AV service on the VM. The Security Profile selection list appears, populated by default with a profile value recommended for the VM. The value selected as Security Profile is mapped to the Trend Micro portal's "Policy" field for the VM's AV service.
