© 2012 Oracle Corporation More on Cloning (1/2) ZFS cloning – Virtual Box cloning • ZFS cloning is storage bound: – Supports ZFS appliance only (or DIY Solaris/ZFS) – Supports any hypervisor with iSCSI – Every desktop owns disk-volume, owns iSCSI tgt. – Lot's of (hidden) storage management

• Virtual Box cloning is hypervisor bound: – Supports Virtual Box only – Supports any storage – Every desktop own disk-file – No storage management
