We have two servers, both with ESXi. Server A is used for every VM, and B is used for backups of the data of server A. At this the B server is used only for datastorage with backups of the data of server A.
Is it possible to clone a whole VM from server A to B on the fly? We checked out OVFtool, but that can't be done on the fly, because machine needs to be powered off.
We thought also of duplicate the datastorage of server A to B and then add when needed the VM on B to the Inventory. But we can't figure out how to copy from server A to B. Same for Snapshots, we couldn't figure out how to send a Snapshot van A to B.
Anyone tips or a solution regarding this issue?
The simple question is: how to clone automatically a VM from server A to server B on the Fly?
