Cloning a New Virtual Machine from Existing VM Box

Follow below Steps to clone virtual machine from existing VM Box.

Here I am cloning VM Box PrimDB to TestDB.


Open command prompt and run below steps.

C:\Users\Chowdari> cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox> VBoxManage clonehd D:\VirtualMachines\PrimDB\PrimDB.vmdk C:\VirtualMachines\TestDB\TestDB.vmdk




Create the "TestDB" virtual machine in VirtualBox as same way like "PrimDB", with the exception of using an existing "TestDB.vmdk" in virtual hard drive. Follow below process.




Choose "Use existing hard disk" and select "TestDB.vmdk" from path C:\VirtualMachines\TestDB\TestDB.vmdk



Done cloning. Now you can use TestDB Virtual Box.


Hope this will help you... :)

Best Regards,
