First sorry for my bad English i am French ! ;-))

Cloning DC is a new feature from Windows serveur 2012 r2 I use to use it cause it's very very usefull and simple for add other domain controllers in a Active Directory Domain To do that the hypervisor who is use need to support what is call the "VM-Generation ID" Hyper-v and VmWare does !

But my client want to use only KVM as Hypervisor !!

So my question is :

Is KVM support "VM-Generation ID" and so is FULLY the DC cloning feature of Windows 2012 r2 ?

As you can imagine ... i had to be absolutly sure of this point before suggest this solution to my client So ? KVM Really ok for cloning ??

If yes ... in addition ... Did you know from what number of version it is possible ? And Where i can find a real validation by KVM themself on the net ? (i search but found nothing on that point from them ...)

Thanks to all for helping ...
 
It's being worked on. Keep an eye on this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/387810

Thanks for this information !!!

I hope we get this new feature soon.
It's help a lot for add more simply some domain controllers on an Active Directory domain ...
And as the clone get the ldap, the new domain controller just synchronise the delta when it boot and not all the ldap of active directory from the network ...

So !
Let me know PLEASE when it is ok for KVM\Proxmox !!!

Thanks
