It will be copied but even if it wasn't you'd still have a conflict because it would have the same hostname.
You need to do this on an isolated network, you do not want other subsystems such as the gateways connecting to this clone instead of the original. That clash has been the cause of numerous customer problems in the past.
If you can't guarantee the clone is on an isolated network I would advise abandoning this effort.

Subject: Setting new management VM using autobackup for testing upgrade process
Hi All, I'n trying to create new API Management VM with new IP address and import the apic configuration using config load apiconfig isolate sftp <hostname> user <username> file <filename.img>. While doing so,whether IP address of source management server will be copied over to new VM and cause IP conflict issue? My assumption is IP address will not be modified and only configuration data will be copied from source to destination? Please confirm since I'm doing it for first time.
