Multiple VM's from the same VMDK
Submitted by Blake Arnold on December 6, 2007 - 6:47am.
Hey Guys,
I stumbled upon this tool the other day and I am fascinated by how it works. Anyhow, what I am trying to do is make 8 different VM's that all use the same vmdk files. Also, these vmdk files should be non-persistent. One reason I am using this product is because it supports the 3d acceleration and I need that for the game that I am testing on these 8 diff machines. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Creating multiple LivePCs
Creating multiple LivePCs using the same VMware image:
1. Import the VMware Machine into moka5 Engine. Double check that the MAC type is set to Generated if you use the Guest Network.
2. Package and upload the LivePC to moka5 or as a local package (i'm skipping the additional details of using a local package).
3. After the upload is completed, a LivePC will be listed under "My LivePCs". The LivePC is now available for downloading.
4. Download the LivePC.
5. Now Submit a new LivePC for every LivePC instance you want with the same URL as the initial version. You may want to give each LivePC a different name. Now download the additional LivePCs and it should be lighting fast.
Let us know how this goes and if there are any suggestions. Thanks
Kevin
