Clone a Server

Description

Use this request to create a clone of an existing server. The {ve-name} part of the URL must contain the name of the source server. The {new-server-name} part must contain the new server name (user-defined). The IP addresses, gateway, and DNS settings for the new server will be set automatically. The rest of the server configuration will be inherited from the source server. The administrator password for the new server will be automatically generated and returned to the caller. If the server you are trying to create exceeds the subscription server limit, the operation will fail with HTTP error 406: "Subscription limit for VE number exceeded".

Syntax 1

POST baseURL/ve/{ve-name}/clone-to/{new-server-name}

Syntax 2
