Hello André,
Thanks for your quick responses!
... are you going to tell me this tool is only for VMware workstation on Windows Clients?
Yes it is, but it is not working in Linux, see error in first post.
But vCenter is only compatible for Windows Server systems ...
Yes but i need to buy it
As you found out, cloning requires the VM to be powered off. It may however work to create a snapshot of a VM and use its base disk as the source!?
Maybe also an interesting article: How to VMFork aka Instant Clone Nested ESXi? | virtuallyGhetto
You mean the base disk of the initial snapshot?, i will read the article..
I just found a very useful post :
Re: Clone a VM directly from single ESXi Host
The last Post from MarelFoodProcessing
Jeroen van Schelt made a bash script which makes snapshots of the VM and a clone. I think the solution is based on a snapshot(as you said, good!).
Best Regards, Rens
