PTC applications are deployed on VMs. The objective of the test is to create clones of the PTC Kepware application VMs for quick restart if the source VM goes down. - Create the clone of the Kepware Server VM using the VxRail vSphere client clone mechanism. See PTC application clone for retention for setup details.
- Deploy the clone and start Kepware Server on the clone.
- Port the license to the new VM. See the PTC support documentation listed in References for details.
- Cloning of an existing Kepware Server simplifies creation of copies of working VM instances of PTC applications for long-term retention and preservation of point-in-time copies.
- These clones can be easily instantiated to bring up the application stack with no application-level recovery effort.
- Such configurations help improve RPO and RTO for Kepware Server.
