usually it works like this… the user sets upa Template (like basic WindowsXXX or Linux installation) and clone this template for various purposes (spezialize on…).

in KVM it looks like this:

su - root
virt-clone --connect=qemu:///system --original CloneThisVM --name NameOfClone --file /where/to/store/NameOfClone.qcow2

cloning a machine - can not reuse existing harddisk - questionmark

 

In VirtualBox this looks like that:

virtualbox clone machine1

virtualbox clone machine2

thats it:

virtualbox clone machine3

virtualbox clone machine5virtualbox clone machine4
