Is it possible to clone a vCenter Server Appliance? We are placing a host at a new site for testing and cloned a few servers just for testing purposes. We would also like to clone the VCSA but it has been causing problems and stops at 96%.

Has anyone done this before?

Thank You

Aaron

No, cloning a vCenter won't work. It's not as simple as a Linux template or something similar. It will need to be deployed fresh with unique settings (and a license).

I dont see a problem of the "cloning" which is basically the same as a VM backup/restore.

The problems starting after the cloning (copying):

- Changing Hostname in VCSA 6.5 is not supportet

- If you use an IP as hostname it is even not allowed to change the IP Address. These problems are solved with 6.7u3

- You have to change the vCenter ID otherwise Mr. Murphy may will create new VMs with same MAC

- You have to recreate all the certs

- You have to leave AD prior or not use AD with the clone VCSA. Dont know if LDAP based AD connect is better
