2.5.1. Configuring Default Directories

When cloning a virtual machine or container, you can also override the following default directories:

  • default directory /vz/vmprivate/<dest_UUID> storing the files of a cloned virtual machine (where <dest_UUID> denotes the name of the resulting virtual machine). To store the files of the ClonedVM virtual machine in a custom directory, you can run the following command: 

    # prlctl clone MyVM --name ClonedVM --dst /customVMs

    In this case all virtual machine files will be placed to the /customVMs directory. Note that the specified directory must exist on the server; otherwise, the command will fail.

  • default directory /vz/private/<dest_UUID> defining the container private area (where <dest_UUID> denotes the UUID of the resulting container). To define a custom private area path for the container MyCT2, you can execute the following command: 
# prlctl clone MyCT1 --name MyCT2 --dst /vz/private/customCTs
