Move VM content from one VM to another on ODA

[dougb]

Greetings!
I've got a few OEL 5.8 guest VM's on my ODA.

I need to get moving forward, so I've imported and cloned the OEL6u7 template on the ODA, and now have a few VM's running on that OEL6.7 release.

Now, is there an easy way to move all of the content & apps from the old 5.8 VM to the new 6.7 VM, or point the new VM's to the exiting VDISKS?
These VM's are all in the same repo.

Thanks a lot! I cannot find much about this on MOS.

This can basically done by modifying the xm.cfg file of the related vm guest machine manually.

However, as this is an Oracle VM server, it is better to use its features.

there is clone Virtual Disk feature..

Read this : https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E50245_01/E50250/html/vmusg-repositories-vdisks-clone.html

It is also possible to clone a physical disk.

Read this: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E50245_01/E50250/html/vmusg-storage-san-disk-clone.html

Check these out and update me.

Ok thanks for the suggestions.  I will give the <oakcli clone vdisk > a shot, cloning copies for my new VM's.

Also, anytime you have the option to modify the xm.cfg files of the new vm guest machine to make them see the old diske :)

This is for the last resort ofcourse..
