<p class="MsoNormal">Had a question from one of our engineers. It seems we are a lazy bunch and have a sometime methodology of using vSphere/vmWare to clone running virtual machines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I cannot think of any way to take a virtual machine that has already been joined to RedHat iDM (freeipa), clone it and then deal with it safely but is there any supportable way to rename the box, and join it again?<o:p></o:p></p>
