clone

Regarding cloning a virtual machine.

I checked the definition file (xml) of the original virtual machine and the definition file (xml) of the clone.

The following changes were made to the original virtual machine:
・<clock offset='utc'> → <clock offset='localtime'>
→ To set the time to local time because the guest OS is Windows.
・<sound model='ac97'> → <sound model='ich9'>
→ The guest OS is Windows Server 2022, and it was listed as an unknown device in Device Manager.

Does the virtual machine definition not get copied when cloning?
The MAC address was different between the original virtual machine and the clone, so
that was fine.

*This is a machine translation, so I apologize if it's difficult to understand.

Re: clone

Do I have to change it with virsh edit each time I clone?

I think it's not a good idea to use virsh edit to make changes in the first place, but what do you think?
If it is not a good idea, can I change it in the WebUI? If not, what should I do?
