00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.120
In this video, we will show you how to

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.600
clone an image in your VDC.

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:07.359
Log in with your VDC account at

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:10.359
cust-sunstone.bit.nl.

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.879
In the menu on the left, click on Instances and

00:00:15.879 --> 00:00:19.960
then on Virtual Machines.

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.560
Click on the VM whose disk we want to

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:24.359
clone

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.599
and then go to the Storage tab.

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:32.239
Next, click on the Save As

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:34.399
icon.

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.640
Give the new image a name

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.680
and click ‘Save As’.

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:48.640
The disk of the VM will now be cloned.

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.559
While cloning is in progress, the

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:53.800
server will have the status ‘HOTPLUG’.

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.559
Refresh occasionally to check whether

00:00:56.559 --> 00:00:59.559
the cloning process has been completed. This may

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:01.680
take some time depending on

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:04.680
the size of the disk.

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:06.880
When the status has changed to

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:10.520
‘RUNNING’, the cloning process is complete.

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:13.799
If we now click on Storage in the

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:18.000
menu on the left and then on Images, we will see

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.280
the clone that has just been created listed here.

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.960
It is also possible to clone existing disks

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:29.000
under Images. However, this is

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.759
only possible for images that

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:35.280
are not in use by a VM. This can

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.159
be checked on the right-hand side.

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.560
This brings us to the end of this video.

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.079
