The fast copy with encryption feature is used for certain VMware appliance plug-ins. The plug-ins use the fast file cloning feature to offload the VM cloning operations to the appliance. This deferred update frees up NFS network bandwidth and improves VM cloning performance.
Install this deferred update to support these appliance plug-ins:
Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Plug-in for VMware Storage APIs for Array Integration
Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Provider for VMware vSphere APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA)
For information about plug-in availability, see the release notes in the My Oracle Support document Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance: Software Updates (2021771.1) (https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=2021771.1).
