Can I copy clone a virtual machine with a BYOD Gateway? - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><strong>QUESTION</strong></p> <p>As environments have become increasingly complex, especially in large organizations, companies are trying to reduce their IT footprint. Server virtualization is a common practice in both production and test environments because it facilitates a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)</p> <p><strong>ANSWER</strong></p> <p>Can I copy/Clone a virtual machine with BYOD gateway?</p> <p>BYOD Gateway supports running in a Virtual Machine but we do not recommend copying or cloning a provisioned BYOD Gateway. Once a BYOD Gateway is registered/provisioned it is assigned unique configuration parameters to communicate with the relay service. Copying or cloning this BYOD Gateway could cause a conflict with the original BYOD Gateway if they both attempt to run at the same time.</p> <p>You can create a Virtual Machine image including an installed BYOD Gateway that has not been registered/provisioned. The BYOD Gateway registers itself the first time you start the BYOD Gateway service and run the BYOD Gateway Control Panel. A Virtual Machine image including an installed, but not registered, BYOD Gateway would simply need to start the service and register the BYOD Gateway to provision a new/unique BYOD Gateway.</p> <p>APPLIES TO</p> <p>Kaseya BYOD Suite</p> </article> </main>
