<div>Using ESXi to run many virtual servers in my environment.
Sometimes its necessary to "clone" a server to a new name to
have a copy of it. If the server is a IPA member, so will be
the clone (?) until the clones hostname changes.</div>

</div>
<div>I have done some looking around and I haven't found a
solution to the issue that comes up in this situation. I don't
want to remove the original host entry from IPA, but I do need
to "uninstall" the configuration from the cloned server before
I can add it back to IPA under its new hostname.<br

<div style="">Is there a way to accomplish this, or do I have
to remove the original server from IPA, uninstall off the
original and clone, then add each back into IPA?</div>

I think you can:<br>
1) Create new host entry<br>
2) Clone the system<br>
3) uninstall the client on the cloned server being offline<br>
4) install client on the cloned server being online<br>
<br>
Step 1) can be placed anywhere in the sequence before step 4. Other
steps are sequential.<br>
That should preserve the original VM but create a new one properly
configured.<br>
