Unlink fast-cloned VM from the parent.

[henri9813]

Hello,

I created some VMs using fast clone.

I also saw on forums, GitHub and documentation that It could impact on IO performance for the VM.

How could I "unlink" the VM from the template vm ?

Best regards,

Hi,

Depending on your storage, there is an impact in read speed mostly. But it's marginal on modern SSDs (but depends on how busy is your SR etc. )

You can copy the VM or migrate it to another SR (and migrate back) to make it 100% independent. Most of the time, not worth the trouble for the marginal speed enhancement.
