- Cloning images cannot be collected from a physical L-Server on which a VM host has been installed.
- For virtual L-Servers, the target L-Server must be stopped when cloning images are being collected.
Cloning Image Name

Enter a name to identify the collected cloning image.
For a cloning image name, enter a character string, beginning with an alphabetic character (upper or lower case), and
