Use the oakcli clone vdiskcommand to create clones of virtual disks on Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platforms.
The command oakcli clone vdisk defines the size of the virtual disk, the shared repository in which that disk is created, defines the unique name for that disk within that shared repository, and defines if the disk is used for one virtual machine, or can be shared by multiple virtual machines.
The name of the vdisk you create is defined by the command oakcli clone vdisk name, where name is the name of the vdisk you create. Identify the repository in which you create the vdisk by using the -repo reponame option, where reponame is the name of the repository where the original vdisk is located. Use the option -src sourcevdiskname, where sourcevdiskname is the name of the virtual disk that you are cloning. Add the option -h to display help for this command.
Syntax
oakcli clone vdisk name -repo reponame -src sourcevdiskname [-h]
