Linux Customization Clone Workflows
With the Linux customization workows, you can clone a Linux virtual machine and customize the guest
operating system.
Clone a Linux machine
with multiple NICs
Clones a Linux virtual machine, performs the guest operating system
customization, and congures up to four virtual network cards.
Clone a Linux machine
with a single NIC
Clones a Linux virtual machine, performs the guest operating system
customization, and congures one virtual network card.
Tools Clone Workflows
Use the tools clone workows to obtain information about customizing the operating system of a virtual
machine, updating a virtual device, and so on.
Get a virtual Ethernet
card to change the
network
Returns a new Ethernet card to update a virtual device. Contains only the
device key of the given virtual device and the new network.
Get Linux customization
Returns the Linux customization preparation.
Get multiple virtual
Ethernet card device
changes
Returns an array of VirtualDeviceCongSpec objects for add and remove
operations on VirtualEthernetCard objects.
Get NIC setting map
Returns the seing map for a virtual network card by using
VimAdapterMapping.
Get Windows
customization for
Sysprep with
credentials
Returns customization information about the Microsoft Sysprep process,
with credentials. Workows for cloning Windows virtual machines use this
workow.
Get Windows
customization for
Sysprep with
Unattended.txt
Returns customization information about the Microsoft Sysprep process by
using an Unaended.txt le. Workows for cloning Windows virtual
machines use this workow.
Get Windows
customization for
Sysprep
Returns customization information about the Microsoft Sysprep process.
Workows for cloning Windows virtual machines use this workow.
Windows Customization Clone Workflows
With the Windows customization clone workows, you can clone Windows virtual machines and customize
the guest operating system.
Customize a Windows
machine with single NIC
and credential
Performs guest operating system customization, congures one virtual
network card and a local administrator user account on a Windows virtual
machine.
Clone a thin
provisioned Windows
machine with single NIC
and credential
Clones a Windows virtual machine performing the guest operating system
customization. Species virtual disk thin provisioning policy and congures
one virtual network card and a local administrator user account. Sysprep
tools must be available on the vCenter Server system.
