You can take a snapshot of your original VM and create a second instance booting up from that snapshot. The hostname can be changed using cloud-init (or manually after the first boot).

You can try to use this tool to replicate VMs. It works with both local or bootable volumes: https://github.com/sapcc/cyclone

I assume that you have an instance that's boot from volume? You can create an image using Cinder backup, and from that image create another volume, and boot your instance from that volume.
