摘要：Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems create a parent snapshot of theparent virtual disk in response to receiving a request to clone a parent virtual machine. Aclone virtual machine is created with a clone redo log file and clone virtual disk. Copyingof the parent virtual disk to the clone virtual disk is initiated. A first active link from the

clone redo log file to the parent snapshot is created to provide the clone virtual machineaccess to the parent snapshot. In response to determining that the copying of the parentvirtual disk to the clone virtual disk is complete, the first active link is removed and asecond active link is created from the clone redo log file to the clone virtual disk or to asnapshot of the clone virtual disk.
