How to move licensed nodes between projects?

Post by eyeless77 » Sun Sep 24, 2017 2:46 pm

Hi team,

I've got some licensed VMs inside EVE-NG. But if I try to create a new project with my licensed VM, it is created from scratch and the license is not valid outside the project where it was created first. Is there any way to overcome this?

All depends of licenses parameters...
Which VM attributes is checked...

Some are tunable like uuid or Mac address ....

Is there a simple way to clone a preconfigured VM from one project to another?

specific options on node edit are always saved...

So cloning lab will preserve specific settings

For example I have a lab with two Riverbed Steelheads, that are preconfigured with IP addresses and hostnames. Config is saved. When I clone this lab and start nodes in that new lab, every Steelhead has an empty config, even if I set up UUID for these nodes manually from initial lab. Is it an expected behaviour?

Yes.

Such node doesn't support config export.

You you need to rebase image... I means after node install setup done, you have to shut down and convert disk to have a new base disk ( See linux image creation last part for details )
