Force duplicate host name

[srajsenthil]

There are occasion where the duplicate vms are created with the same host name. To prevent and avoid this, we need to create a duplicate vms. Is there any easy way to do this by PowerCli or vijava or vSphere-client?

Please let me know.

Thank You,

Senthil

Not sure what you are asking.
Do you mean a VM with the same Displayname as an existing VM?

[srajsenthil]

Yes, with the same display name.

You can use the New-VM cmdlet, just make sure you specify a different yellow folder (the Location parameter) than the one where the first VM is located.
