To create a virtual machine snapshot from a template:
oakcli clone vm <vm_name> -vmtemplate src_vmtempl_name -snap [-
driverdomain]
Parameters
Parameter Description
-vm
vm_name
Identifies the name given to the new cloned virtual machine.
-vmtemplate
template_name
Identifies the name of the template containing the virtual
machine that you want to clone.
-repo
repo_name
Identifies the name of the repository that contains the template
being cloned.
-node
0 | 1
Identifies the Oracle Database Appliance node that contains the
shared repository from which the virtual machine is to be cloned.
-vm
src_name
Identifies the name of the virtual machine that is to be cloned.
-snap
(Optional) Creates a snapshot of the source virtual machine or
virtual machine template.
-driverdomain
(Optional) Creates the virtual machine with the driver domain
option.
The driver domain option improves performance by enabling
guest virtual machines to use
ODA_BASE
instead of
Dom0
to
access virtual disks. Newly created virtual disks are mounted
directly from
ODA_BASE
to a guest virtual machine.
-force
(Optional) When cloning a source virtual machine, the
-force
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
to create a clone
virtual machine that does use the driver domain.
-h
(Optional) Displays help for using the command.
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
Support as patch number 23346086.
