Question;
We have installed a functional development environment under VMWare with the above software installed. I was wondering if anyone has ever, successfully, copied the VMWare image to another machine, change the hostname, change the configuration files (etc. ar.cfg, etc), re-licensing the server, in order to bring up another server instance of this environment (eg. For a test environment) (recognizing that the database would have to be copied, restored, name changed, etc).
It sounds like it would save a LOT OF TIME installing all of these programs over-and-over, but am wondering if anyone has done this successfully. If they have, any caveats to look out for ?
Thanks list!
