Usage Notes
• The -node parameter must be used when you clone from a shared repository. The
-node parameter is invalid for non-shared repositories.
• The virtual disk and vm.cfg files are stored in the following directories:
–
Dom0: /Repositories/vm_repo_name/.ACFS/snaps/vm_name/
VirtualMachines/vm_name
–
ODA_BASE: /app/sharedrepo/vm_repo_name/.ACFS/snaps/vm_name/
VirtualMachines/vm_name
• Live migration of driver domain virtual machines is not supported.
• The driver domain option is supported with the following guest operating systems:
– Oracle Linux with the latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2 (UEK2),
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 3 (UEK3), or Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
Release 4 (UEK R4).
– Microsoft Windows with Oracle VM Windows PV Driver 3.4.1. Oracle VM
Windows PV Driver 3.4.1 release is available for download on My Oracle

Description
Identifies the name given to the new cloned virtual machine.
Identifies the name of the template containing the virtual
machine that you want to clone.
Identifies the name of the repository that contains the template
being cloned.
Identifies the Oracle Database Appliance node that contains the
shared repository from which the virtual machine is to be cloned.
Identifies the name of the virtual machine that is to be cloned.
(Optional) Creates a snapshot of the source virtual machine or
virtual machine template.
(Optional) Creates the virtual machine with the driver domain
option.
The driver domain option improves performance by enabling
guest virtual machines to use
access virtual disks. Newly created virtual disks are mounted
directly from to a guest virtual machine.
ODA_BASE
(Optional) When cloning a source virtual machine, the
option enables you to make a change from the source virtual
machine. For example, if the source file does not use a driver
domain, you can use
-force -driverdomain
virtual machine that does use the driver domain.
(Optional) Displays help for using the command.
