Abstract: A virtual machine system clones a parent virtual machine on a host by creating an open virtualization format (OVF) package of the parent virtual machine, creating a metainfo file of the OVF package, sending the metainfo file to a tracker, and cloning the parent virtual machine to other hosts by accessing the tracker to determine pieces of the OVF packages are located on the host and any of the other hosts, downloading the pieces of the OVF packages to the other hosts, assembling the OVF package on the other hosts, and deploying full clones of the parent virtual machine on the other hosts from the assembled OVF package.

Abstract translation: 虚拟机系统通过创建父虚拟机的开放虚拟化格式（OVF）包来克隆主机上的父虚拟机，创建OVF包的metainfo文件，将metainfo文件发送到跟踪器，以及克隆父虚拟机 机器到其他主机，通过访问跟踪器来确定OVF包的部分位于主机和任何其他主机上，将这些OVF​​包下载到其他主机，在其他主机上组装OVF包，并部署 来自组装的OVF包的其他主机上的父虚拟机的完整克隆。
