Existing Limitations

Provisioning —

A linked clone of a SAP system can be performed to the same data storage only
A SAP system can be cloned to a DRS cluster only
Customization Specifications having the same Guest Operating System type and number of network adapters as the Source Virtual Host are available for SAP system cloning
For provisioning from virtual host template, a cloned system hostname must be resolvable to an IP address before executing the operation
Network interfaces bonding is not supported by vCenter Server Customization Specifications. Currently, if the source system has a bond interface (2+ interfaces bonded to 1), it will also be present on the destination system after the vCenter Server Clone operation. In order to apply a vCenter Server Customization Specification a user should choose the specification which contains the same number of network adapters and not the same number of bond interfaces. That is the reason the destination system contains the same bond interface with the same IP address as the source system. vCenter Server applies the provided Customization Specification on the secondary interfaces which are not being used outside the bond as far as they are connected to it. So the resulting configuration on the destination system is not changed as intended.
