Editing Setting Up WRCCDC Clones In ProxMox (section)

== How to Clone a Template ==

First, when you are on the cscp.csudh.edu website, locate the templates you want to clone. It should be located on the right side of your screen.

Right click on the template you want to clone, and you should see two options.The options are migrate and clone. You will choose clone.

Once you click clone, you will see a small window pop up called “Clone VM Template'' and the number that was associated with the template.

Then you will fill out the information needed.
Target node would be what pve template it belongs to. If the template is from pve4, then the target node should also be pve4.

- VM ID , the first digit should be the pve number. The picture shows that the templates are from pve4 so 4 would be the first digit. 

- The next two digits is the set that the clone is in. If the clone is in the first set, then the second and third digit should be 01. 

- The last digit should be the machine number you are creating, For example, if its the first machine, it’ll be 1. This will let you create up to 9 machines in each set. In the end, it will look something like “4011”. 

- Mode should be a Linked Clone. Since it will be faster to create than a Full Clone.

- Name should be specifically what template you are cloning. For example, if you are cloning 4001 (pfsense-fw2-template), then the clone should be named pfsense-fw2-CloneNumber. So if its the first clone you are creating from the pfsense-fw2 template, it should be called pfsense-fw2-01. 
- Resource Pool has only one option. Which is INTERN_POOL.


Once you’ve filled the right information out, it should look something similar to the image below. Click Clone and you are done. The clone of the template should show up in the server view on the left side of your screen where all the other clones and templates are located.

- The image below is an example of cloning the template in the second set. Which is why the third digit is 2. Which represents the second set. 
- The name is slightly different. Instead of pfsense-fw2-01 like I've mentioned in the example, the image shows pfsense-fw2-02 because it is the second set.
