vdi-clone
vdi-clone uuid=<uuid_of_the_vdi> [driver-params:<key=value>]
Create a new, writable copy of the specified VDI that can be used directly. It is a variant of vdi-copy that is capable
of exposing high-speed image clone facilities where they exist.
The optional driver-params map parameter can be used for passing extra vendor-specific configuration
information to the back end storage driver that the VDI is based on. See the storage vendor driver documentation
for details.
vdi-copy
vdi-copy uuid=<uuid_of_the_vdi> sr-uuid=<uuid_of_the_destination_sr>
Copy a VDI to a specified SR.
vdi-create
vdi-create sr-uuid=<uuid_of_the_sr_where_you_want_to_create_the_vdi>
name-label=<name_for_the_vdi>
type=<system | user | suspend | crashdump>
virtual-size=<size_of_virtual_disk>
sm-config-*=<storage_specific_configuration_data>
Create a VDI.
The virtual-size parameter can be specified in bytes or using the IEC standard suffixes KiB (2
10
bytes), MiB
(2
20
bytes), GiB (2
30
bytes), and TiB (2
40
bytes).
