  • 1.  Customizing the Guest on VM after cloning.

    Posted Apr 07, 2011 11:28 AM

    I am using ESXi4 and Vcenter. I want to clone a VM to create a new one. After cloning (or the first start), I want to update some files related to one of my applications on the VM's Guest OS. Is there any way to automate this using SDK or any other scripting (instead of manually logging in to each clone I create and doing changes)?

    Thank you.

    Hello.

    You could look at the VIX and the vmrun copyFileFromHostToGuest command.

    Good Luck!
