–Configsave command

[Steve92]

Hi

Can –configsave command be used to clone a server A to a server B ?
Can both A and B be started at the same time without conflict ?
Non address IP or hostname are stored in the saved config or NxDB files ?

Thanks,
Regards
Steve

Configuration save/restore is described in this KB article https://kb.nomachine.com/AR05T01160. In short, it is possible to restore the configuration on a different machine without issue.

Important note:
If you intend to run both hosts simultaneously, you must change the UUID of the restored machine to avoid conflicts.

Hi,

“you must change the UUID”

Please, give me an example.

Thanks.

Steve.

After restoring, you can run sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --uuidset.
This will generate a new UUID for the host.
