Generally Clone is a Copy of existing one. In VMWare clone is a copy of an existing virtual machine. The existing
virtual machine is called the parent of the clone. When the cloning operation is complete, the clone is a separate virtual
machine though it may share virtual disks with the parent virtual machine

On our Setup
we tested with VMWare workstation
Installed CentOS 6 with minimum requirement
4 Pre-request to Clone
Parent machine
Remove udev rules (only on EL 6 before)

5.3 Check the Target (Cloned) Machine IP and Network Card name
6 For RHEL/CENTOS 7
In RHEL 7 there is no 70-persistent-net.rules on /etc/udev/rules.d/ , so do the below step only on cloned
machine
Install Parent Machine with RHEL 7 / CentOS 7

7 Conclusion
I hope you will get some basic ideas about Virtualization and Cloning and usage. If
there is any mistake in these guides, please feel free to notify me. I will correct them
and update the articles. Cloning is very good option if you are deploying a large
number of client systems in your organization.
