13.2. Cloning Volumes
The new volume will be allocated from storage in the same storage pool as the volume being cloned. The
virsh vol-clone must have the --pool argument which dictates the name of the storage pool that contains the volume to be cloned. The rest of the command names the volume to be cloned (volume3) and the name of the new volume that was cloned (clone1). The virsh vol-list command lists the volumes that are present in the storage pool (guest_images_disk).
# virsh vol-clone --pool guest_images_disk volume3 clone1 Vol clone1 cloned from volume3 #virsh vol-list guest_images_diskName Path ----------------------------------------- volume1 /dev/sdb1 volume2 /dev/sdb2 volume3 /dev/sdb3 clone1 /dev/sdb4 #parted -s /dev/sdb printModel: ATA ST3500418AS (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 4211MB 12.8GB 8595MB primary 2 12.8GB 21.4GB 8595MB primary 3 21.4GB 30.0GB 8595MB primary 4 30.0GB 38.6GB 8595MB primary
