Oracle VM Manager enables you to make copies of VMs based on existing working VMs. This can be done by either deploying a VM, cloning them outright, or saving a VM as a template.
By deploying a Virtual Machine, you essentially clone a new VM to a specific server pool—that could be public and may be accessible to a larger group or you can choose to keep it private. The original VM remains in its original pool while the copy goes to its new pool. Let's have a look at how it works:
1. We take XP64Bit machine and click on Deploy, from the dropdown menu, and then click on Go.
2. We name it as temp for the sake of testing, and change the Group Name to Public Group and then click on Next, as shown in the following screenshot:
3. Click on Confirm to make the changes effective:
4. Your VM will now be copied and deployed. As you can clearly see in the following screenshot the XP64bit is Deploying while the temp is being Created:
