VM cloning path

Hi,

If I will clone a VM from a template. The template located on local storage on Host01. During the clone wizard I chose Host 2 as a destination host. Will the clone traffic in this case go over the management protgroup or over the VM traffic protgroup ?

Since it is a local datastore, I think it will be management irrespective of online or offline clone.

One example would be SvMotion where the traffic flow depends on your environment -
