Clone VM Script

[elihuj]

I'm looking to create a PowerCLI script to clone a VM, and overwrite any existing clones that are present. Just doing some searching, here is what I found:

New-VM -Name VM2 -VM VM1 -Datastore datastorename -vmhost hostname

I have not tested the script yet, but it does look like it will do at least part of what I am looking to accomplish. Do I need to use the Datastore and VMhost parameters? And is there anything I can do to delete any existing clones before the script is run? Thank you.

Does that work when you something similar to this?

Note, that is an example, not a complete vMotion script

$vm = Get-VM -Name MyVM -Server vc1

$destination = Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster -Server vc2

Move-VM -VM $vm -Destination $destination
