rorton Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 So this maybe an odd scenario I need to deploy VM's of firewalls to test, they only have a 30 day licence, and then have to be rebuilt. Is there a fast way of having everything configured as a template for one of these vm's pointing to an iso, so I can just click a few times, start one up and it builds - if these were physical boxes I was building, I could script the config so I have a baseline config (management IP dns servers, basic password etc) which I was hoping I could also use Quote Link to comment
ZaFord Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 @rorton, I was looking for something like this a while back, never got any answers on here. Best solution I found was to create a VM with the settings I needed. Then before starting it for the first time, go to Edit -> XML View. And copy all the XML code and save it somewhere safe. Next time I needed a new VM Hit the 'Add VM' button, choose 'Custom VM' paste in the XML code and click Create. I sometimes had to edit the VM name or ISO image file. Hope it helps. 1 Quote Link to comment
