Hi everyone !
I used Linked - Clones that create virtual machines ( VDI ) but after on ESXi display a file "  " replica-909xxx -xxxx - xxx " .

So,How to not display file " replica-909xxx -xxxx - xxx" on ESXi ?

Thanks !

Replica is a copy of your parent virtual machine. All the linked clones get attached to the Replica VMs. If needed you can hide the Replica VMs from showing here are the steps -

Open vSphere Client - Edit - Settings - uncheck "Show view composer Virtual Machines". This will hide the Replica VMs when you are in "VMs and Template View"

You won't be able to delete the Replica VMs.

Thanks

HI VcpGUy:

Is it from Edit>Client Settings and then Show View Composer Virtual machine will not show this in the Virtual machine View but still it will show in the host View

Before, I created VDI use linked clones that default on ESXi was uncheck box " Show view composer Virtual Machines " but it display.

So, why is this ?

Thanks bro !

Yes, it will hide only from one of the Display types.

It depends on your view type selected in vSphere Client.As I said change your view type in vSphere Client and the Replica folder will disapper.

Yes HongChuong:So if you switch to view the VM and templates view then You will not see the replica but when you in the host view you will see the Replica
