Generate a new virtual machine (VM) on a system by creating a new VM, migrating an existing VM or physical machine (PM) directly over the network, or importing an Open Virtualization Format (OVF) file or Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) file from an existing VM.
To create a new VM (without an existing source VM or PM), see Creating a New Virtual Machine.
To copy an existing VM on a system for the purpose of creating a new VM or creating a duplicate VM for troubleshooting, see Copying a Virtual Machine.
To migrate or import a VM from another system, or to restore a VM on the same system, see one of the following topics:
Migrating a Physical Machine or Virtual Machine to a System
Use the P2V client (virt-p2v) to transfer a PM or VM directly over the network to a new VM on the system.
Use the ztC Console to export the source VM to OVF and VHD files on a network share.
Use the ztC Console to import OVF and VHD files from another ztC Edge system to the ztC Edge system
Replacing/Restoring a Virtual Machine from an OVF File
Use the ztC Console to import OVF and VHD files back to the same system to overwrite and restore an existing VM from a previous backup copy.
