7.2.2 Creating a clone for upgrade
Shutdown all your BEA WLS VM nodes to prepare for cloning. We will clone all of the BEA WLS VM nodes
into the test environment at the same time. Then we will bring up the production instances back up for
production use while we perform upgrade and testing on the replicated test VMs.
On the VI client, right click BEAVM1 Æ clone
Provide a new VM name (BEAVM1Test).
If you want to store the clone in a separate inventory location (different datacenter location), you can provide
that above.
Pick the host you want the test environment to reside on. We used one of our existing hosts (10.16.27.16).
This means BEAVM3 which is on 10.16.27.17 will also be cloned to .16.
