I did see the "no budget for buying" but I have a shameless product plug. There is a very affordable, easy to use and vendor-supported product available called zPRO from Velocity Software that will clone (you get an exact copy), clone and personalize (exact copy with new network info, etc) or kickstart (brand new build) Linux servers on z/VM. It has system administration of the servers within a single LPAR, SSI cluster or across your Enterprise and can easily be customized to fit your needs.
