Applies to

  • ONTAP Tools for VMware vSphere (OTV)
  • Virtual Storage Console (VSC)

Answer

  • No, there is no alternative feature to VSC’s Rapid Clone functionality in OTV
  • The Rapid Clone feature in VSC allowed for rapid creation of VM clones by leveraging ONTAP’s FlexClone technology.
  • However, with the transition from VSC to OTV, the Rapid Clone feature has been discontinued.
  • Currently, OTV does not provide a direct GUI-based cloning feature equivalent to Rapid Clone.

Additional Information

SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere (SCV) can create a cloned VM by restoring a backup to alternate location.
