Abstract: While current solutions for cloning virtual machines can involve copying and duplicating files associated to a virtual machine (VM), systems and techniques can be devised to create thin clones of a VM using the VM's associated storage system to copy and deduplicate storage for the VMs. One can create a base VM in a directory of a storage container attached to a hypervisor, and then map the storage container to a volume on a storage system. One can clone the base VM using a snapshot of respective files associated to the base VM, which can comprise creating metadata that identified a physical storage location of the files. Further, the metadata can then be copied to a desired location on the storage container, to create a VM clone. Once copied, the cloned VM can be customized and registered within the hypervisor.
Abstract translation: 虽然克服虚拟机的当前解决方案可能涉及复制和复制与虚拟机（VM）关联的文件，但可以设计系统和技术，以使用虚拟机关联的存储系统创建虚拟机的薄克隆，以便为虚拟机复制和重复数据删除存储。 可以在连接到管理程序的存储容器的目录中创建基本VM，然后将存储容器映射到存储系统上的卷。 可以使用与基本VM相关联的相应文件的快照来克隆基本VM，其可以包括创建标识文件的物理存储位置的元数据。 此外，元数据然后可以被复制到存储容器上的期望位置，以创建VM克隆。 复制后，克隆的VM可以在管理程序中进行自定义和注册。
