+ | ====== Copying VMWare Virtual Machines ====== | ||
+ | These instructions assume that I have a virtual machine directory called "Win_XP_Base". You can, of course, do this with any virtual machine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Copy the VM directory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | cp -r Win_XP_Base Win_XP_<name> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Switch to the new directory and edit the vmx file. Replace Win_XP_Base with Win_XP_<name> | ||
+ | |||
+ | vim Win_XP_<name>.vmx | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rename Win_XP_Base* files to Win_XP_<name>* | ||
+ | |||
+ | Edit the vmdk file. Replace Win_XP_Base with Win_XP_<name>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | vim Win_XP_<name>.vmdk | ||
+ | |||
+ | Get the permissions right. The directory should be 755, the files 700. |
