SAP System Clone fails on Vmware

Hi,

When I do clone for SAP System, it fails with timeout message.

I tried cloning SAP Test system like N4S or Enterprise Portal system with Java stack only and I was able to do it.

I guess big SAP Systems on VMware with more than 100 GB images are failing.

Any one has cloned SAP System more than 100 GB Successfully ?

Thanks,

Digesh

Be aware that "cloning" an instance with the intention to use it as system copy is not supported:

Note 757692 - Changing the hostname for J2EE Engine 6.40/7.0 installation

Note 8307 - Changing host name on R/3 host: What do you do?

I think you can just clone the VM server without the DB data and then transfer the database data to new server.

I do clone in VSphere clinet by right clicking on VMware instance.

How do you clone only SAP System without DB?

I have found solution. You have to take VMWare instance offline and then clone. It works.

Thanks,
