Just FYI if you are on linux, KVM and kickstart are really good for this as well and we have some kickstart Fedora16 hadoop setup scripts I can share to spin up a cluster of several VMs on the fly with static IPs (that usually to me is the tricky part with hadoop VM cluster setup - setting up the VMs with static ip addresses, getting the nodes to talk / ssh to each other, and consistently defining the slaves file).
But if you are stuck with VMWare, then i beleive VMWare also has a vagrant plugin now, which will be much easier for you to maintain. Manually cloning machines doesnt scale well when you want to rebuild your cluster.
