I assume clone is a kind of snapshot in the term of VHD chain, Does XenMotion has same restrictions on clone?
For fast provision, right now , on XenServer, root disk is cloned from template. Before any snapshot, root disk is already a VHD with parent VHD which is template, do you know if this has any impact for XenMotion ?
