IEC allows you to clone a virtual machine with or without volume data. This function doesn't need to take a VM snapshot or set up a backup target first.

Overview

Two clone modes are available:

• Clone with volume data: Creates a new VM and includes the original volume data
• Clone without volume data: Creates a new VM with the same configuration only

Important!

Stop the source VM before cloning to ensure data consistency.

Procedure

1. Go to EonKube > Virtualization > Virtual Machines.
2. Locate the source VM.
3. Click on the ⋮ icon (more options) and select Clone.
4. Enter the new VM name.
5. Choose clone volume data checkbox
6. Click Create to create a new VM.
