SUSE Manager Register Cloned VM
On the cloned machine, change the hostname and IP addresses. Make sure /etc/hosts contains the changes you made and the correct host entries.
For distributions that support systemd: If your machines have the same machine ID, delete the file on each duplicated client and re-create it:
# rm /etc/machine-id
rm /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
dbus-uuidgen --ensure
systemd-machine-id-setup
For distributions that do not support systemd: Generate a machine ID from dbus:
You don't really need to do these unless errors:
rm /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
dbus-uuidgen --ensure
If your clients still have the same Salt client ID, delete the minion_id file on each client (FQDN will be used when it is regenerated on client restart):
rm /etc/salt/minion_id
Delete accepted keys from the onboarding page and the system profile from SUSE Manager, and restart the client with:
service salt-minion restart
Re-register the clients. Each client will now have a different /etc/machine-id and should be correctly displayed on the System Overview page.
