Foglight for Automation Action Packs 5.6.3.8 - Hyper-V ActionPack User Guide

Clone VM

Clones an existing Hyper-V virtual machine. This action cannot be stopped.

The target server, which will host the cloned VM, should run a network interface that the original VM uses. For example:

•
The source server runs 2 networks: Network1 and Network2.
•
The target server runs 2 networks: Network2 and Network3.
•
VM1 and VM2 are running on the source server.
•
VM1 is connected to Network1.
•
VM2 is connected to Network2.

In such configuration you cannot create a clone of VM1 on the target server because it does not run Network1. However, you can create a clone of VM2 on the target server, because it has the Network2 interface.
