Hi everyone,
I'm new at virtualization matters and I would like to copy/clone VMs
from one ESXi host to another but I don't know what the best way
to achieve this is.
The background is as follows:
- Two identical (hardware/software) ESXi hosts running ESXi v5.1.
- One active VM (Windows 2008 R2) on each host
The purpose is to have on host "A" a sleeping copy of the VM
running on host "B" and to have on "B" a sleeping copy of
the one running on "A".
Ideally, the copy/clone should occur without turning off the running VM and
might be automated/scheduled.
I ever tried to clone a running VM and it seems to work but the cloned VM
had lost the original network configuration.
We really want exact copies of VMs ready to be awoken in case of an ESXi
host loss.
Thank you for your help.
