Are there any "traps" in cloning a VirtualBox VM for concurrent use on the same Host/LAN?
- by fred.bear
With Ubuntu as the Host, I want to run two similar/identical(?) instances of a VirtualBox Guest on the same Host, or perhaps on another Host which is on the same LAN...
I have set up a Guest as a "base" for the two clones. I have exported it as an ovf appliance.
I've imported this "base" guest OS back into VirtualBox, with a unique name and .vdk ... and I have started them both on the same Host, and all seems okay, but I do wonder if I have missed some significant point.
...eg. Is the virtual NIC the same? this would throw the LAN into confusion (I think)... and what about UUIDs?
I haven't actually tried 2 clones together, yet... only the original and one clone, but I haven't gone beyond a simple startup ...
