Doubt on cloning

• Doubts about cloning/migrating off the virtual machines on the network

  Hello

  I'm going to have some problems of connection while cloning/migration power VMs on different hosts on ESXi5 off. I don't know is this procedure for moving a VM off will use the vMotion network, or just the normal management. I have a lot of is speeds when copying VMs on several different hosts, so I wonder what I could do to make sure that the speeds are overfished? I have all the hosts that are connected on a gbit switch.

  Thank you!

  Yes, two links are used, even when you vMotion a single virtual machine. Here is an official KB article.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2007467

  A quick test (only VM vMotion) confirms this, as evidenced by the performance tables;

  Source (transmit - these two vmnic is used);

  

  Destination (receiving -serve two vmnic);

  

  See you soon,.

• cloning of doubt

  Hello
  I had a doubt on cloning. Every week Thursday we take cold full backup of applications and data. The last backup was performed on 1 oct. Now I have to clone to test production that run on the same system as the production.
  Can I copy the following steps.
  
  1) copy of application-level files (directories what ever we need, as mentioned in Doc 230762.1 version of oracle 11i application cloning) this backup to the test site.
  
  (2) shut down produciton and db and copy data files to the location, to get the last test data.
  
  No patches are applied since the last backup.

  Hi Taher,

  Hi Mr. hussein.

  Call me Hussein please, no title :)

  I was wondering on the newspaper and files when I was reading (doc 230672.1 relase of oracle 11i applications cloning.) In this doc it does'nt mean to copy the newspaper and outside (and log start/stop CM) COMMON_TOP files. Do we need to copy these files to test only when we want to see the o/p of applications which took place in production, or is it necessary to copy all cloning.

  Section "Refreshing a target system" are you referring? If Yes, it is made clear in the document that you will need to copy the part that needs to be updated (that is, files that have been updated).

  --> Is the best way to find if we got any custom development.
  If grep appsweb.cfg for customizing the file and search for files beginning wih custom.env in $APPL_TOP

  Fix. You can also query the FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS table (if the STATUS columns = 'L'--> means it is custom).

  Kind regards

• IOM - cannot export advertising objects

  Hello
  
  When you export "AD User" and cloned 'AD User Test', I get the following error:

  "AD Test user" is cloned from "User AD" - looks like there are some problems in the cloned connector.
  
  Any suggestions for fixing it?
  
  Concerning
  Vijay Colin

  Without a doubt. Cloning sometimes when not clean points to the original object and even a little dependence can be a nightmare in this case. It would be difficult to say which could shatter.
  I did once a clone and my tasks in process were somehow still pointing to the original definition of process via the TOS_KEY element. You can start all over and leave such items as void.

• 700 - 147C envy: disc cloned for use on pc 2 different location

  We spend half the year in our House c & the other half in our House in NY. I have a pc in every home. I do a lot of video editing & carry work back & comes twice a year. I used to have 2 PC Intel & had no trouble to install the clone of the previous location every time we moved. This allowed me to continue what I was doing in front of the place instantly. 2 years ago one of the older Intel PC becomes unusable & I bought a desire C 700-147 with Costco AMD processor & I'm very happy with it. Unfortunately, it is not clone is compatible with my Intel in New York because they are different platforms.  I decided to replace the Intel pc with a pc HP so that the boot floppies are compatible. My question concerns the problems of compatibility.

  1. is my desire C 700-147 (chip AMD) clone with a WANT H8-1450 Desktop PC AMD FX-6120 compatible?
  2. the two computers must be of the same manufacturer as CPU (Intel, AMD)?

  3 both is the same size of the address, I.E. 64 or 32-bit?

  Any advice or insight on this popular issue.

  For the record: I have 2 windows 8.1 licenses.

  Any help appreciated

  HI Jaco:
  I had similar thoughts about the possibility. However, I have the experience of successflly cloning based Intel 2 pcs purchased 2-3 years & were not identical, I.e. the processors & chipsets are certainly different, & that worked. However, if I buy a 2nd pc & it does not I'll be on a bit of money for nothing & I don't know until I get back to New York. Your message instilled enough doubt think I wll go to plan B. Forget cloning available & $ for a new pc. I'll take the pc back to NY & use Acronis universal boot to make a picture of HP on Intel. At least I can take my time to do & I'll put a little money. I hope this works.

• Problems with MAC WET11 cloning features

  Hello

  I'm having a devil of a time to set up my v2 WET11 to allow my XBOX be fully connected. I can configure and connect the bridge, ping, ftp files to XBOX etc. Only problem is when I try to play bound. I can see the game in progress on the second XBOX but cannot participate. Related game works perfectly when Xbox is wired to the router.  I know that play bound depends on each game console broadcasting their MAC, so I need to clone the MAC address of the XBOX to use the bridge.

  Unfortunately the WET11 web configuration interface I cannot do. Under Settings/Advanced cloning Mode, all controls are disabled - greyed. This includes the control that allows you to turn on cloning.  I took a shot the script behind the page and it seems that it checks to see if 'disable cloning' is selected and if so, disables all controls of cloning, including one that would allow me to get back on. Since the default value is disabled, it is the programmatic equivalent to lock the keys in the car. You can take a look at here emulated interface:

  http://UI.Linksys.com/files/WET11/v2/advanced.html

  Of course, the demo is fully functional and do not exhibit the problem...

  Many people have described solve their XBOX related play questions by cloning the MAC address of the XBOX and see change settings using the web interface.

  I tried different versions of the firmware 2.06 and 2.07, 2.08 USA 2.08 EU. Same results. Tried the Installer Wizard 1.06 worm, but he does not even include the MAC settings.

  Had two cats different with online support agents and the two seem as puzzled as I am.

  Am I missing something obvious? Depends on the availability of cloning parameters options elsewhere in the config utility?  Is the interface designed for cloning taking place without intervention of the user on the v2 and v1? (doubt)

  Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

  I know that people have written code to pull the strings of parameters off the unit then maybe the reverse is true and I can write the script to directly change the settings.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Rick

  Well well well - apparently the firmware is not totally compatible with IE7. Downloaded Firefox and the interface works as advertised.

• Windows 7 disc to a newer hard drive cloning lose my activation?

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive to upgrade my drive hard aging / slow / small running windows 7.

  I am considering the current installation using clonezilla newest hard disk cloning.

  After reading the FaQ of Activation of windows 7, it states that I'll lose activation with a change in hardware (motherboard) or if I change the hard disk and memory at the same time. I could be wrong, but I guess that if I just upgrade the HDD, I will be not necessary to reactivate windows 7. No other hardware changes apply except the hard drive.

  The question is, if I clone my partition to install windows on the most recent hard drive with clonezilla, I lose my activation? Are there other methods recommended to do?

  Thank you

  I doubt that you will find it, I don't think that it's been published, and if that were the case, she would probably quickly be taken. I don't think they want to know exactly what triggers it or how much time between activations rings the bells!

  There are many threads here with this info, and it's easy to find elsewhere. So, on pain of having that message changed:

  Every piece of hardware is a point number - if you change too many and exceed a certain amount of points, you will need to reactivate Windows. Don't know the exact number until he'll force the reactivation, but usually replace only part (other then the motherboard) doesn't require reactivation.  Information of product key, in the form of the product ID, is sent with a hash value 'material' (a non-unique number generated hardware configuration of the PC) to the Microsoft activation system during activation.

  Windows product activation checks eight different categories of equipment:

  * Processor & serial number
  * IDE adapter
  * VSN and hard drive
  * Amount of RAM range
  * Graphics card
  * Optical drive
  * SCSI adapter
  * Network adapter

  This is related to the issue:

  Product activation prevents users to change or upgrade their hardware.
  Not true at all. Users can change or upgrade their hardware. One of the forms of piracy which warns against product Activation is hard disk imaging. Not all forms of hard disk imaging are illegal. Where a pirate copy data from one PC hard drive to another to illegally run the software on two computers, Product Activation, which stops by forcing the copied software is reactivated. It does so by comparing the hardware on which it has been enabled for the hardware on which it is now initializing. If the material is significantly different, then reactivation is required. If it's the same, or similar, then the software will continue to work. Those who their PC hardware upgrade substantially may be asked to reactivate. For this reason is easy and can be completed by contacting Microsoft to obtain another confirmation ID.

• Oracle EBS 12.1 cloning vs EBS DB update

  Hi friends,

  Yesterday my project architect asked me to apply the patches in some test environments.

  As part of the prerequisites, I asked ad_applied_patches. I found that all the patches are apllied for test environments.

  I know about cloning. If clone us some environments, so all patches were applied in this environment will be available in the target environment.

  But my architect said that databases only EBS are current production, no application not cloned layer. Therefore, apply patches in any test environment.

  I don't get what he says.

  We can update the EBS database, but

  Is that it will work with existing application layer?

  Is that we need to apply the patches in the test environment?

  Could someone please clarify my doubts.

  Kind regards

  Prates

  Hello Mary,.

  If you do a refresh of the production database, you will need to apply the patches in the test environment, if the patches are not applied on the production.

  Yes, the update only db will work with the existing application layer.

  Kind regards

  To my UCM_Server1 content WebCenter.

  As I already have a WebCenter content I have to follow the second part of the note

  How to install and configure the UI content with WebCenter content 11.1.1.8.0 and 11.1.1.9.0 (Doc ID 1618305.1).

  Install and configure content WebCenter ADF WebUI against WebCenter Content Server

  Step 1) install the MDS schema

  (Step 2), install the Weblogic Server

  11 GR 1 material step 3) DOWNLOAD and install Oracle Application Development Framework (11.1.1.6.0) in the new WebUI WLS Middleware House, found here

  Step 4) Download and apply Patch 16, 546 129.

  Step 5) Download and apply Patch 16, 546 157.

  Step 6) download and apply the Patch and then 19,469,801, 18,102,108 Patch

  Step 7) copy the wccadf files in the field of user interface

  Step 8) Oracle on demand services (MDS) metadata registry

  Step 9) Place the WebCenter content domain user interface model

  Step 10) run the Setup Wizard on the new home of Middleware WebUI to create the new domain

  Step 11) updated the Oracle ADF of shared libraries

  Step 12) start the domain WebUI administration server

  Step 13) Save target Managed Server with the MDS repository and create the metadata partition

  Step 14) start the server managed WebUI.

  Step 15) associate UI WebCenter content to Content Server.

  Step 16) reboot the WebUI ADF server managed.

  Step 17 access the WebUI

  Step 18) complete the Configuration of the workflow

  Step 19) apply the latest Patch Bundle content UI of WebCenter

  MY DOUBT IS:

  To read the steps that I understood, to 19, with success, in the end, I will have an another WebLogic with a domain name and its respective EM.

  I have two servers weblogic?

  portal_domain (explained above) and a new wccui_domain wls and domain.

  This fix it?

  Two WLS to keep WebCenter portal and content, and other elements.

  Because I'm not able to do with the WLS even where I UCM_server1 today?

  Thanks for all suggestions and criticism.

  Yes, up to 11.1.1.9.0, you will need to install a new wls House (new wls server admin) and then configure WCC ui there. User interface and COE will not work in the same field. You can have the portal and content under the same House of wls and install a new one for the user interface.

  This is due to a problem with ADF and WCC libraries.

  With 12 c, this dependence is not there, and you can install / configure all 3 (Portal, content and adf ui) applications on the same domain.

  But when he asks the system base directory target, and I come home >/U01/of/SCREWS

  It will automatically be poppulate records succeeding and default to the fs1

  How can I force it points to fs2?
  

  
  

  Target system Base Directory: / U01/of/SCREWS

  Home directory for the defined target system on/U01/of/SCREWS

  The target system value based filesystem screws/U01/of/SCREW/fs1

  The target system value another file system based/u01/appvis/SCREWS/FS2

  Target Fusion Middleware Home screws/U01/of/SCREWS/fs1/FMW_Home system

  The target value system Web Oracle Home screws/U01/of/SCREWS/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier

  The target value system Appl screws/U01/of/SCREWS/fs1/EBSapps/appl

  The target value system COMMON TOP screws/U01/of/SCREWS/fs1/EBSapps/comn

  Target directory system Instance home [screws/U01/of/SCREW]:

  Thank you very much

  No it should not be modified in TARGET. in the file system TARGET will remain same as source.

  Of course how do not support this approach, but on source to change the file system to run for FS1 and run adpreclone and check.

  No doubt, when you ran adpreclone on the source, which was executed at this time file system. I just wanted to be sure.

• Questions and answers backing up/cloning a VM NFS

  Situation :

  1. I use vsphere 5.1 with thin VM.
  2. I will only use virtual machines for backup targets.
  3. I am currently using Windows 2003 Server VM, projecting an NFS volume, to back up to.  A big advantage of this is NTFS compression.  The problem is from 2003 and 2008 cannot manage virtual machines without running frequently in file size problems.  Example: I have a 1 TB NTFS compressed volume I export as a NFS volume.  It has 667 GB of free space.  If I clone a virtual machine that has a declared 80 GB size and a slim waist 42 GB, is the command and the result:
  

  # vmkfstools-i d inh.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-2/backups/server1/inh/inh-2014-03-19_05-22-41/inh.vmdk

  Destination disk format: thin provisioned VMFS

  Cloning disk "inh.vmdk"...

  Clone: 78% of fact. Impossible to clone the drive: there is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation (13)
  A few days later, after a few copy and delete could start working again, or I can run chkdsk on it, and he will back up again.  You can run the chkdsk command 10 times in a row and getting errors every time.  Microsoft knows the problem, did not fix, it has not been set, and if they have not fixed now, I doubt they will ever be, because those aren't their current products.  At the time virtualization and files of several gigabytes were not a market reality.
  4. I read that ESXi is default for thin then copy to NFS, and I specify in vmkfstools when you are copying anyway.
  5. to correct my backup file of the size matters, I thought I'd use a? NIX to replace 2003 as the VM NFS for backup.  It seems? NIX is no good compression options.  ZFS looks like its as good as it gets, and from what I've read, it's great to manage a large number of data and records, but slow and a resource hog for this type of work.
  6. I decided just thin backup would be good enough, and I could go out without compression.  However, when I tested the backups on the NFS volumes, they used their full size declared.  Here are the results of these measures.

  As backed up to a volume of Windows Server 2003 NFS
  # ls - l fstop - flat hard
  -rw - 1 root 42949672 85899345920 Mar 14 06:53 fstop - flat hard

  # stat fstop - flat hard
  File: fstop - flat hard
  Size: 85899345920 blocks: block IO 167772160: 131072 regular file
  
  Calculation:
  167772160 * 512 = 85,899,345,920
  85,899,345,920/1024/1024/1024 = 80 GB (full size, not thin)

  
  Same virtual machine running on VMFS Volume:
  # ls-l fstop - flat hard
  -rw - 1 root root 85899345920 15 March 23:11 fstop - flat hard
  
  # stat fstop - flat hard
  File: fstop - flat hard
  Size: 85899345920 blocks: 124723200 IO block: 131072 regular file
  
  Calculation:
  124723200 * 512 = 63,858,278,400
  63,858,278,400/1024/1024/1024 = 59.47265625 (thin) GB

  
  Another VM saved on a compressed volume of NFS for Windows Server 2003
  -inh - flat hard has a declared 80 GB size
  -As thin on VMFS, it has a size of 38,72 GB
  -Also supported up to a window thin hard, with NTFS compression, projected as an NFS share is 19.26 GB
  
  Analysis/thoughts:
  1. the VMware docs state that, by default, VMDK made on an NFS volume are slim.  In fact, when I backup my thin VMs to an NFS share and restore to a file system vmfs, the hard just thin back, so there is no doubt that it is stored as thin.

  
  2. even if a hard backed up on an NFS share is thin, unlike under vmfs, a thin hard residing on a NFS volume consumes all of the blocks required by its size declared.  FOR EXAMPLE we have a VM said thin with a size of 80 GB, which uses 59,47 Go on a vmfs volume, but when saved on a store NFS, there are 80 GB of disk space each time.  On a 250 GB NFS volume, so there room for not more than 3 backups.
  
  3. the only way to effectively store backups on a volume of NFS is whether this volume supports compression.  The only solid choices in this area seem to be NTFS and ZFS. ZFS is to consume a lot of resources because of all the other things, it was designed to do.  If I was going to ZFS, I would probably just add to an existing FreeBSD VM. I don't need all the stuff done FreeNAS.  Windows through 2008 have problems with large files.  I have not tried Windows 2012.
  
  Question:
  At this point, I think to try a Windows VM to 2012 to take the place of VM Windows 2003 to see if 2012 has beaten the problems of file size of volume.  In 2012, virtualization was hot, and so I guess that he could not have the problem with large files.  Everyone using one? NIX VM for this assignment which is effective, reliable and supports compression?
  
  Thank you!
  
  

  Forward:
  I installed a Server Microsoft 2012 64 VM today to serve as the target of compressed backup NFS to determine if they have fixed the problem with large files which is rampant in the 2 K - 2008 R2 and learned by doing more tests and more.

  2012 compressed Server NFS volume tests:

  Backup on compressed NTFS volume projected as NFS
  * The VM has here a test size declared 80 GB.  The NFS VHD said to 150 GB

  -vmkfstools-i d dstop.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-4/backups/server1/dstop/1/dstop.vmdk

  -When you have finished, stat reports he uses 40.23 GB

  -VCLI engages with the Go 40,23 and shows that I have 109,53 GB remaining in free space

  -Windows shows Go 40.2 used on the disk and 109 GB free

  Second backup
  -Size of the vhd is 80 GB, so there should be more than enough space to make a second backup if vmkfstools considers that the first backup is 40.2 GB and not his declared 80 GB size.

  -vmkfstools-i d dstop.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-4/backups/server1/dstop/2/dstop.vmdk

  -When you have finished, stat says it requires 40.23 GB

  -VCLI agrees with the 80.66 and shows that I have 69,21 GB remaining in free space

  -Windows shows also 80.4 GB used on the disk and 69.2 GB free

  -Because the backup is complete, it turned vmkfstools saw all the remaining space on the compressed volume.  If such were not the case, there is not room for the second copy as we would have been short 10 GB.  (80 GB * 2 = 160 GB on a 150 GB NFS volume)

  -Doing a stat on virtual hard drive storage shows its size to be 121,93 GB, not the expected 40,23 GB X 2 = 80.46 GB.  Which indicates that, during the thin vhd for volume cloning compressed NFS, the VHD used initially full value declared of the 80 GB (40.23 + 80 GB + ~1.5GB) vhd.

  Third backup

  -From the second backup, we learned that cloning for the volume compressed all of the 80 GB declared value plus a few initially used NFS.  After the second copy, we have only 69GB of free space, the third backup to fail if our hypothesis is that a compressed volume Windows initially requires at least the size of the free space to successfully carry out the correct copy.  The 69GB remaining should be too small for the initial 80 GB size required.

  -vmkfstools-i d dstop.vmdk thin /vmfs/volumes/nas-4/backups/server1/dstop/3/dstop.vmdk

  -Command instantly failed with the following error message:

  «Impossible to clone the drive: there is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation (13).»

  Tests of corruption:

  GUI test
  -Windows scanned the disc and found no errors

  -Then, I did a stat on the VHD and seen that it has not changed because of the analysis.

  CHKDSK command prompt:

  -Then, I ran v: chkdsk /R from the command prompt and restart.  It took a long time to complete because it checks the sectors and trying to recover and re-map information.  I thought that it would increase the hard.  He did not.  This seems to indicate that vSphere extend and access the unused space of the disc even for chkdsk/r.

  Recover the thin space experience:

  -Deleted the first backup and subsequently checked with stat.  The size of the vhd has not changed of the original 121,93 Go as planned.

  -Downloaded and run sdelete on the volume. (Documentation, it is said, run it with? nix dd if = / dev/zero of = / [PATH] / zero bs = 4096 & rm f / [PATH] / zeros (I don't understand nor have I tried this command to see if it is correct or even work.))

  -Check the VHD with stat, and as expected, it now has the declared size of 150 GB

  -Ran vmkfstools - punchzero nas - 2_1.vmdk who went much faster than sdelete

  -Run stats on it.  I expect to be the same size, and I have to do a-i thin d vmkfstools to reach the smaller hard, but it was only 42 GB down 150 GB.  I got all but 2 GB back.  Curiously, the free space is exactly the same as before, 109 GB.

  -Decided to try to start the virtual machine, without cloning the hard to see if it would work.  It worked perfectly.  These two steps are the steps only recover space on a thin hard.

  -When he was in disbelief that it was that easy, I decided to do the-i thin d vmkfstools to see what would happen. It worked well, and it is still thin and still the same size.

  Analysis:
  -When you clone one - thin vhd to an NFS volume, it will use the declared size in disk space, not the - thin space as seen with vmfs volumes.
  -When you clone a volume compressed Windows, it uses initially declared the virtual hard disk size in space before it is compressed.
  -2012 server do not have problems with large files than 2008 R2 and earlier.  I do not buy, but the price is mitigated when you consider that you get two licenses VM for that price.
  -Recovering a previously too inflated thin virtual hard drive space is a simple two-step process.  (At least with Windows that is)

  Closed:

  The issue of corruption with versions of Windows server before 2012 and the mystery of why backups were not complete when there was apparently a lot of disk space, has been something that has plagued me for a long time.  Person here and other forums have been able to help.  I hope that my tests have clarified the issues, so that others can enjoy.

• Current database cloning using RMAN

  Hello
  
  I have my database (11.2.0.3.0) of test running on Windows server 2008 R2 64-bit. My name is TESTDB database and its operation in log mode archive with ASM. I want to clone the same database using RMAN... I checked the many documents and have searched in google also, but did not find the right document. I am very new to the database of ACTIVE RMAM feature.
  
  Here I have the different file name with the structures of different directories also...
  
  my doubt is:
  
  * 1. How to copy a database running in log mode Archive with the DSO to the remote computer with the same name of DB via RMAN? *
  * 2. How to copy a database works in log mode Archive with ASM in a remote machine with the different DB name like CLONEDB via RMAN? *
  
  Please suggest me how to proceed?

• Database cloning strategy

  Hello
  
  I have the database of production (1102.0.3.0) in Windows 2008 server R2 64 bit version. My database has some patterns which also partition tables and links Db and the views of M.
  Now my team leader asked me to install the same environment (such as cloning) in the test environment. I have a lot of options to create the same configuration database using options such as Import/export, data pump, Rman backup to hot and cold.
  
  My doubt is which option will best and optimal to achieve the same?
  can someone tell me in what approach I should proceed?
  
  Thank you and best regards,
  Vikash Jain (Junior DBA)

  Salvation;

  1. you can go with data pump
  2. you can go with rman(restore/recover)
  3. you can go with the clone process

  I suggest you go with option 3 or 1 (I chose option 3). Please see:

• Cloning of Windows Server 2008 R2 / SID options with VMWare

  Hi all

  I'm trying to deploy virtual machines to a basic model of Windows 2008 R2 Standard (64-bit) and I was wondering what is the best way to give my unique msn cloned VMS?

  Basically, I see that NewSID does not work on R2. I tried to run sysprep - & gt; Generalize about the clones of R2 (area experience off), but after restarting the virtual machine must be re-activated (enter the product key and activate again). In addition, VMWare tools no longer - I found that I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it working again, so the console mouse sensitivity goes down the drain. My screen resolution is also indented by default in the virtual machine and anything on the desktop is erased.

  Running sysprep like this just doesn't seem to be an option, because there is too much of what needs to be sorted again once the clone is done. I might as well be reinstalling the OS on a fresh virtual machine. Is that all I'm missing with sysprep? Sort of leave him alone he put the SID and nothing else?

  It would also be interesting to know what the guys who run Windows 2008 R2 64-bit with VMWare use (VI / ESX 3.5) when it comes to cloning or to deploy multiple virtual machines from a template.

  For example, I just want to be able to clone my base model and get a new SID on each clone that I do. So I want to have another model that has a few additional features or roles installed in Windows and be able to clone from that too. For example, a model of Terminal Server.

  See you soon!

  However, I doubt management will believe that article directly at the exit (even if its written by Mark himself)-this process of newSID'ing is as far as I can see in their heads. May take a while to convince them otherwise.

  If this information on the website of Russinovich doesn't convince them of the contrary, it will be interesting.

  As far as I can tell from this article, as long as I clone models VM that are already part of a domain, I should be fine. In other words if I have a model pre-configured, but are not part of a domain (that is always in a working group) I should be fine if I had to clone 10 of them and put them all on the same network right? From there, I could then take one of these 10 clones, convert to a domain controller, and then take the remaining 9 and add them to this new domain members and all servers should be good - no conflicts or funny happens things of the AD?

  Yes, let the models out of the area and let the sysprep/customization to join them upward when it is deployed.  As long you run sysprep, or through customization, or manually, there should be no problem in AD.

  I guess I always look for an alternative to newsid just to adapt to this as 'political', said at this stage. How you guys don't deploy R2 2008, VMs of clones?

  None of my clients went to U1 or U5 at the moment, there is no R2 2008 deployment in place.  I'm guessing that a manual running sysprep deployed virtual machine might be the best thing to do at this point.
