克隆虚拟机(VM)会创建现有VM的相同副本,让您可以复制其配置、文件和数据。这在各种情况下都很有用,例如创建备份、测试环境或部署标准化VM配置。
根据您使用的虚拟化软件,克隆虚拟机的具体步骤可能略有不同。以下是使用VMwareWorkstationPro为例的一般指南:
先决条件:
-
VMwareWorkstationPro:确保您的计算机上已安装并运行VMwareWorkstationPro。
-
已关闭的虚拟机:您要克隆的虚拟机应该已关闭并且未在运行。
-
管理员权限:拥有计算机的管理员权限来访问和修改VM文件。
脚步:
-
OpenVMwareWorkstationPro:aunchVMwareWorkstationProonyourcomputer.
-
