First let me preface this will saying I am no expert to VMware. I've worked with virtual machines in the past, but my terminology may not be correct and for that I apologize. I work for a private tollway, and currently we are trying to develop ways to optimize programming our ESXI servers and VMs that control our toll gantries. As it stands now, when one crashes, it can take almost 3-4 hours from start to finish to reprogram one. We are trying to simply clone each of our gantries so that if a certain one crashes all that will have to be done is to reload the clone on the RAID. I've been tinkering around with vsphere, and workstation, but I keep getting an error on workstation that states I cannot clone a remote or shared VM. Since these VMs are set up through ESXI and technically are remotely set up, how do we go about cloning a datastore, NRG network and VMs, what would be the VM software to do this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
