Hello Fellow VM'ers:
Back again. This time the question is pretty straight forward. How do you clone multiple .vmdk files (in the same destination directory) simultaneously using SSH (Putty). In other words, what additional switches are necessary in the following command:
vmkfstools -i <Original VM.vmdk> <New Cloned VM.vmdk> -d thin
That string above clones one .vmdk at a time without problems.
Of course, I'd like to make the process more efficient by cloning multiple .vmdk files at the same time. They all have the same destination directory, so that's not a problem and I know the "flat.vmdk" file is created at the same time. So, everything works perfectly. But, I have over 90 clones to produce. Using SSH and vmkfstools is much faster than vSphere Converter. This last step would be the icing on the cake.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Regards,
Tim
