Cloning Multiple Containers

One of the easiest methods of creating new Containers of a certain type or particular configuration is cloning the old ones. Cloned Containers are exact replicas of the prototypes and can be created on the Clone Containers screen where you can:

• Specify a name and a hostname for each new Container clone. The number of sections to set these parameters is equal to the number of Containers you want to clone. Mind that the range of symbols for the Container hostname is limited. For a Windows Node, the hostname may start singularly with a-z, A-Z or an underscore ( _ ), contain further any of the following symbols: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _, - and have a-z, A-Z, 0-9 or _ at the end. The maximum number of symbols is 15. For a Linux-based Container, the hostname should consist of a-z, 0-9, _, and may have a point in the middle. The number of symbols should not exceed 256.
• If you need to start the clones immediately after they are created, select the Start the Containers after cloning checkbox in the Post Procedures section.

After entering the necessary data, click Clone to begin the cloning procedure, otherwise click Cancel.
