Disk Usage on vSphere Vcenter Server

Hi All,

I am planning to clone a vm guest from one Host to another using vSphere vCenter Server installed on a machine which has only 100GB free space

the vm that I am planning to clone is around 300GB

So I am wondering, whether the cloning will consume space on the  vSphere vCenter Server

thanks in advance

No space will be consumed on the vCenter Server system when you clone a VM, the transfer happens host to host.
