vmware: you cannot make a clone of a shared or remote virtual machine
Posted on 2012-12-29
I am new to vmware but I like it so far. I have a server loaded with esx4 and I would like to clone a vm. Even with the vm powered off and sharing disabled, it launches the wizard and says:
you cannot make a clone of a shared or remote virtual machine
Is this because I am using VMWare Workstation 8 on my local pc and connecteing to the esx host and it is then considered a remote connection? Do I have to create a vm to just run this program and then it will be considered local?
I just want a way to make clones.
Thanks

You can CLONE a Live VM (powered ON), but you need to be using the vSphere Client connected to vCenter Server
You are also better off using the .vSphere Client cobnnected to the ESXi server, than VMware Workstation 8.0, which is limited in what it can manage.
