4. Copy VM1.vhd and paste into each virtual machine folder. For example, if three virtual
machines need to be created, VM1.vhd will need to be copied and pasted 3 times.
5. Rename the copied VM1.vhd to the new name of the cloned virtual machine.
6. Open Failover Cluster Manager. Right-click Services and applications and select Virtual
Machines… > New Virtual Machine… and select any node.
7. The New Virtual Machine Wizard will now open. Enter a name for the duplicate virtual
machine (it’s best to enter the same name that you renamed the vhd file in Step 5, on page 14).
Select Store the virtual machine in a different location (you will only need to point to
the volume where the virtual hard disk was copied earlier).
8. Enter memory and network configuration for the virtual machine. Static memory will be assigned
by default but may be changed to dynamic memory after the virtual machine is created.
